Telangana Congress MP urges PM Modi to expedite the amendment of PCA Act

Hyderabad, July 31 (UNI) Telangana Congress MP Porika Balram Naik on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take necessary steps to amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act, 1960.
In his letter to Modi, Naik, elected from Mahabubabad Lok Sabha constituency, emphasized the urgent need to table the new animal welfare bill (Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Bill 2022) in the current session of the Parliament to ensure a safe and humane society for both – humans and animals.
He also outlined the need to increase the penalty for crimes against animals. Currently, the maximum fine for even the most heinous crime against animals—including beating, poisoning, raping or burning an animal—is a mere Rs. 50 ( and Rs. 100 for repeat offenders).
