Angered by the menace of stray cattle, residents of a town in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind district drove hundreds of cows into the grounds of a local civic body.
Residents and farmers of Akoda town drove about 700 to 800 cows into Akoda Nagar Parishad's compound on Monday and locked them, officials said on Tuesday.
Residents have claimed that the stray cattle had been destroying their crops, and were angry that they were not being sent to a gaushalas.
