AMARAVATI:The Andhra High Court directed the State government to take steps to prevent cockfights and betting during the Sankranti celebrations across the State, on Thursday.
In response to  PIL filed by Sk Saleem from Pedapudi in East Godavari urging the court to direct the officials for  preventing cockfights, a division bench comprising Justice Joy Malya Bagchi and  Justice A Venkata Sesha Sai emphasised that the court directions issued on in 2016 with regard to cockfights should be implemented. 
Stating that it will take up the PIL along with a contempt petition filed stating that officials failed to implement the court orders with regard to cockfights issued earlier, the bench adjourned the hearing after eight weeks.
