Congress has raised the demand for discussion in the Bhopal Municipal Corporation Council on the issue of street dogs menace in Bhopal.
Leader of Opposition Shabista Zaki says that when issues of public interest are not discussed in the council, serious cases like dog menace comes to light. A complaint has been lodged against a pet lover at Kolar police station on Monday. A day earlier on Sunday also there had been a dispute between the councilor and the pet lovers.
The cases of stray dog attacks are continuously increasing in Bhopal. In January, two innocent children died after being bitten by dogs within 13 days. At the same time, more than 500 people became victims of the attack in 10 days.
Still, the cases of dog hunting have not reduced. In such a situation, Congress has raised the demand for discussion in the council.
Leader of Opposition Zaki said that the issue of dogs should be discussed in the council meeting. This is the responsibility of the corporation. Why are dog sterilization and anti rabies vaccination programs being conducted by the same agency? There are lakhs of street dogs in the city, which are killing innocent people.
Even after this the contract is not being cancelled. The contractors go to Telangana and not to Madhya Pradesh. All these issues should be discussed in the council.

In the written application, the residents said that on February 4, pet lovers had misbehaved and created a ruckus. Also threatened to kill women.
