ON March 1, there was a ruckus in the Haryana assembly over amendments related to the sale and transport of cattle in urban areas. It aimed at making a provision for a six-month jail term for those keeping such animals without a licence issued by civic bodies. Haryana Urban Local Bodies Minister Kamal Gupta, during the ongoing Budget Session of the assembly, tabled the Haryana Municipal (Amendment) Bill, 2022, and the Haryana Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022 for discussion.
Congress MLAs Bibi Batra, Varun Chaudhary, Neeraj Sharma, Aftab Ahmed, Jagbir Malik and Shamsher raised questions on the amendment Bills. Seeing the objections of the Opposition, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar gave his consent to send both Bills to a Select Committee of the assembly. The Committee will submit its report in two months. It will include four MLAs from the BJP, three from the Congress, one each from the Jannayak Janta Party and independents.
Bibi Batra said that before implementing the law allowing milch cattle-rearing in cities or removing dairies, the government should build dairy complexes where people can keep these animals. Aftab Ahmed said that the Bills should be sent to the Select Committee, whereas another Congress leader Neeraj Sharma said that a law should be made after making a dairy colony, in which case he would not oppose it.
Independent MLA Somveer Sangwan said that it was not clear in the bill how many animals the government would allow people to keep in cities. There are also rural municipalities too like Sisay where many people keep cattle. Therefore, the Bills should be sent to the Select Committee, he said.

Ignorance of law is no excuse. Here are answers to frequently asked queries regarding matters that affect us on a day-to-day basis
The Big Lie
In America, The Big Lie is an idiom used by Donald Trump's opponents and the media to describe his constant gripe about election fraud. Now, it seems more suited to another Republican, Congressman George Santos (right), who has been facing growing calls to resign after he admitted fabricating parts of his resume and biography since his election in New York last year.
Flying into the Sunset
Over 50 years since the first and original jumbo jet, the Boeing 747, took to the skies and revolutionized air travel, the last of the legendary aircraft (right) was delivered to a freight charter company, bringing down the curtain on one of aviation's most successful products.
Star Crossed
Actor and producer Alec Baldwin is a Hollywood legend, having starred in a range of movies, award winning TV sitcoms, and theatre. He was most recently seen in Mission Impossible Fallout, which is an apt description of his current situation.

Myanmar's Misery
Two years after the military coup ousted the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi, the brutal crackdown by the junta on so-called \"insurgents\" and civilian protesters has reached a new level with the use of air strikes, a new and deadly tactic in the ongoing civil war.
AMERICA'S ANGST
From messy, divisive politics to a series of mass shootings, and now black officers brutally beating another black man to death as seen in bodycam videos, America's domestic convulsions are cause for serious introspection
JUSTICE LEAGUE
There are few judicial appointment procedures in the world that are completely bereft of the overarching presence of either the executive or the legislature, or both. In the end, the judge is left with all the powers vested in him/her by the constitution to uphold the rule of law, within an atmosphere of external influences
