April 11th, 2011 - 6:12 pm ICT by IANSChandigarh, April 11 (IANS) Twentysix people were arrested Monday in Haryana’s Sirsa district for attempting to smuggle cattle out of the state, a police spokesman said here.
He said that a police team, led by inspector Balwant Singh, intercepted and seized seven mini-trucks full of cows and calves at Bathinda Chowk near Dabwali town.

The seized cows and calves have been sent to a cowshed in Dabwali.
