**Action will be taken against those who abandon animals helpless**

He said that the Police Department, Animal Husbandry Department, BDPOs, functional officers will be responsible for implementing these orders and if any incident of leaving helpless animals comes to their notice, legal action should be taken against such persons immediately. Apart from this, leaving animals helpless also causes accidents on the roads. This order will be in force till May 12, 2026.
