The residents of Gandhinagar are reeling under stray dog menace as at least half a dozen street dogs have made their life miserable. The people are not only facing a threat of dog bite and accidents on road, but the canines are creating the surrounding filthy by defecating in the open space. They are also creating constant noise pollution by barking.
Meanwhile, a group of residents of Gandhinagar, mostly senior citizens, have submitted a memorandum to the BeMC Commissioner, Ganjam District Collector-cum-Chief Administrator of BeMC and 5-T Secretary on Tuesday.
They demanded dog catching squad in Gandhinagar 3rd Lane/and 3rd lane extension; sweeping and removal of wastes from the road twice every day; no feeding of stray dogs in public places or roads and stop collecting holding tax from the residents of Gandhinagar till the stray dogs are lifted from the streets.
