Omar Abdullah asks Bhagwat Mann to halt unauthorised livestock levy

Omar Abdullah, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, has written to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwat Mann requesting his intervention to stop an unauthorised levy on livestock transport in the state. The levy, imposed without clear legal backing, is affecting traders and farmers across Punjab. The J&K government is reviewing the issue through its Department of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs. The move aims to protect livestock owners and ensure lawful trade practices.
