Open grazing is an old practice of roaming ruminant animals in open fields, plains and bushes in search of pasture or foliage. The system in the last few years has triggered conflicts between host communities and migrant herders, leading to several deaths in many states across the country.

UNDER THE PROPERTY RIGHTS LAW IN THE BIBLE, YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU READ : EXODUS 22:5
