Addressing the concerns, the BBMP's animal husbandry department clarified their stance and unveiled a structured plan to support stray dog nutrition.

Progress updates on this initiative will be displayed on public notice boards to ensure transparency and community involvement.

The new scheme has been warmly received by animal advocates, who are pleased with the BBMP's proactive approach to addressing the welfare of stray dogs.

This initiative not only underscores BBMP's commitment to animal welfare but also fosters a harmonious coexistence between the city's residents and its stray animal population.
