Delhi court offers cowboys cash to round up stray cows
Residents of Delhi who dream of being cowboys are about to get the chance in real life. Under a bizarre new scheme to round up the city's stray cattle, the Delhi High Court is offering a cash reward for anyone who brings a bovine to book.
Finally, the Delhi High Court has lost patience with the city authorities, ordering rewards of 2,000 rupees (£26) for every cow that is caught. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) must pay the reward out of its own coffers, and recoup the expense by auctioning the captured cows.
