Express train mows down 18 bulls on the Kanpur-New Delhi route

The Old Delhi-bound Kaifiyat Express mowed down 18 bulls on the Kanpur-New Delhi route. The train ran over the herd of cattle on the stretch between Shikohabad and Kaurara. Incidentally, there was a breakdown of the engine of the corresponding train that was heading for Azamgarh and was on the down track.
This resulted in delays in movement of trains on the stretch for over two hours and both the incidents took place within a distance of 20-Km apart.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 15 February 2017.

Authorities suspect that the cattle were being smuggled to a slaughterhouse because those who were herding the animals vanished from the spot.
It may be recalled that in June 2015, 14 nilgais were mowed down by a passenger train near Kampil jungle which is approximately 148-Km from Agra.
