Stop Carrying Cow Dung In Luggage: US Customs To Indian Travellers

New Delhi: On April 4m an Air India passenger took India’s obsession with cows to another level when he carried cow dung cakes in his suitcase to the US presumably as an antidote to coronavirus.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials found a suitcase left behind with two cow dung cakes (a restricted item due to foot-and-mouth disease), at Washington Dulles International Airport. The U.S. Department of Agriculture views it as a worldwide concern since the disease can spread rapidly.
