Explanation:

Assam Cattle Preservation Bill, 2021 prohibits the sale and purchase of beef in areas inhabited by non-beef-eating communities.

=> It also prohibits the sale and purchase of beef within a radius of 5 km of a temple or a satra (Vaishnavite monastery).

=> This bill will repeal the Assam Cattle Preservation Act, 1950.

=> It was passed with the aim of regulating “slaughter, consumption, illegal transportation” of cattle.

=> It prohibits inter-state transport of cattle to/from and through Assam without any valid documents. This clause was included ostensibly to look after cattle smuggling to Bangladesh.
