Bloodhar:
The city of Sanghar is under an unusual seat – not criminals or politicians, but cows. Yes, hundreds of wandering cows have transformed the streets into a personal play area, leaving citizens, traders and helpless motorists.
Property of politically well connected people who direct cattle pens, four powerful herds wander in town as if they had the place. From the alleys, the animals walk freely, snacking on fruit and vegetables as if the markets were open buffets. “They eat more tomatoes than we sell in one day,” complained a frustrated seller.
But the damage is not only for the benefits of traders, motorists say that traffic jams are now “tips”, with herds blocking roads and cars on occasion. Pedestrians are not spared either – many ended up at the civil hospital after unforeseen meetings with these unexpected “street fighters”.
If that was not enough, the waste left by these wandering giants added an odor and disorder to the already tense environment of the city. Residents fear an increase in diseases but joke that at least cows fertilize the roads.
Despite repeated complaints to the municipal committee, no measure has been taken. Some citizens, tired of waiting, have suggested selling animals and depositing money in the national treasure. “At least, the country would come out something from our misery,” joked a lawyer.
