In a significant step to curb bovine smuggling, the Kishtwar police have recommended the suspension of registration certificates and route permits for 25 vehicles implicated in the illegal trade of bovine smuggling.

Following these recommendations, ARTO Kishtwar has suspended the documents for these vehicles involved in illegal trade.
