To regulate the keeping of wild animals, a special wildlife registration app has been introduced. So far, 584 lions and tigers have been registered through the app.

The Punjab government has also decided to enforce sterilisation of privately owned lions, tigers, leopards and other big cats. Wildlife officials said this step will help stop illegal breeding and trade, which pose risks to public safety. A complete ban on private buying and selling of big cats is also planned.

These registered farms have also been given one month to upgrade their facilities as per official guidelines and SOPs.

So far, 18 big cats have been seized from illegal locations. Authorities have lodged seven FIRs and arrested eight individuals.
