The directive
Signed the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law banning open livestock grazing statewide and promoting ranching, with a six-month grace period before enforcement began; later backed by the creation of a dedicated Livestock Guards paramilitary agency and a security task force codenamed Operation Zenda.
Real-world effect
Reduced some forms of farmer-herder conflict and was cited as a reference model by other states, but enforcement was also blamed for the deaths of over 100 security operatives, and the law's enforcement had to be suspended for two weeks in April 2023 amid a fresh spike in violence.
