Why Did a Man Wear a Dog Mask in Khandwa? Protest Raises Questions Over Stray Dog Sterilisation in MP
The protester said the stunt was meant to expose stray dog concerns and alleged irregularities in the municipal sterilisation programme, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Opposition Deepak Rathore arrived at the weekly Jan Sunwai hearing with a man in a dog costume to protest the city's rising stray dog menace and alleged civic corruption.
- Rathore alleged that the Khandwa Nagar Nigam spent Rs 40 lakh on dog sterilization, yet 13,225 people were bitten in the past four years, claiming the corporation must provide a full account.
- The protester, whom Rathore called 'our Doggy brother,' traveled from Delhi to highlight the issue, while others at the hearing called the unusual demonstration a 'creative way to draw attention to an issue.'
- Should authorities fail to explain the spending of Rs 40 lakh, Rathore warned that the 'Doggy' protester and his group will stage a hunger strike outside the Nagar Nigam office.
- Daily bite incidents reach around 150 cases monthly, complicating public safety; although The Supreme Court mandates sterilization and relocation of threats, Rathore argues the corporation has failed to implement permanent solutions.
