This Act amends the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, specifically for the state of Punjab. It allows the conduct of bullock-cart racing at the Kila Raipur Rural Sports Event, a traditional rural sporting event, by exempting it from general animal cruelty prohibitions. The legislation aims to preserve the unique cultural heritage and sporting significance of this event while ensuring that such activities are conducted under rules made by the State Government. It effectively balances animal welfare concerns with the need to protect local traditions and rural entertainment.
