Assault on Livestock Transporters: A Wake Up Call for India's Rural Areas A recent FIR against 17 individuals for allegedly assaulting four men transporting bovines in Jammu and Kashmir has sparked a heated debate about the safety of rural areas in India.

The transportation of livestock is particularly high risk due to insufficient roads, lighting, and security measures.
