Aims to feed 4,000 strays once a day to control aggression in animals; invites tenders
Every dog has its day. Certainly, at least, in Bengaluru. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike is set to start a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country in terms of dealing with stray dogs.
The Palike will feed around 4,000 stray dogs once a day and supply chicken and rice to avoid aggression in animals.
The municipality has invited tenders and will be spending Rs 2.88 crore annually for the initiative and claims to control aggression due to a lack of food and arrest scavenging among such dogs and control conflict.
