Now, Cattle in New Delhi too have microchips...

City cattle are going the high-tech way. Authorities in New
Delhi have started inserting microchips into cows to tackle
the decades-old problem of cattle roaming freely in the
streets of the Indian capital. Officials can now keep track of
cows and see where they are and try to curb the problem
of cows moving around in the streets.

The move came after the Delhi High Court slammed civic
authorities this month for failing to round up cows and
ordered officials to pay 2,000 Rupees to anyone who
brings in a stray. The microchips -- costing about 500
rupees each -- would be planted in the cow's digestive
tract.

There are an estimated 35,000 cows and buffalo in the
capital and its surrounding areas. If a cow is captured, the
owner has to pay 10,000 Rupees as a fine to get it
released. Later, would it be a cheaper way to buy a new
cow ?!!
