Dog owners only must clean up their pets' mess in public spaces

Department of Animal Husbandry extends this rule to all dog owners

Previously confined to Cubbon Park, these regulations now apply citywide

In a surprising move, the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) has introduced stringent guidelines for dog owners, mandating that they must personally clean up after their pets if they make a mess in public spaces.

Under these regulations, municipal workers are no longer responsible for clearing away dog waste left on the streets. Dog owners are now required to carry bags and promptly remove any waste their pets produce while out for walks.

The Department of Animal Husbandry has extended this rule to all dog owners in Silicon City, emphasizing the importance of maintaining cleanliness in public areas. Previously confined to Cubbon Park, these regulations now apply citywide, aiming to create a more hygienic environment for all residents and visitors.

The rationale behind these measures is to prevent inconvenience and ensure the comfort of pedestrians. It is a step towards fostering a culture of responsible pet ownership and contributing to the overall cleanliness and sanitation of Silicon City.

By adhering to these guidelines, dog owners can play their part in making the city a more pleasant and hygienic place for everyone. Let us collectively strive towards creating a cleaner and more livable urban environment.
