The Yangon City Development Committee has granted licences for manageable- and commercial-scale livestock breeding in 12 townships in municipal areas to ensure food security.
The committee said they ban livestock farming except for four townships of Dagon Myothit, Mingaladon, Shwepyitha, Insein, Hlinethaya (East), Hlinethaya (West), North Okkalapa, Dala and Seikkyi-Kanaungto townships.
On 7 July, the officials of YCDC, Veterinary and Production Department, township administrator and Myanmar Police Force jointly inspected as they received information that there is illegal cattle trading in Yan Aung (b) Ward of Thingangyun Township.
They found out that nine cows are being farmed illegally in Thingangyun Township and the owners signed a pact not to do so in the presence of ward administrators and the cows were sent to the Ywathagyi animal shelter. — TWA/GNLM
