1 week ago 6

NAGPUR: The

Nagpur Municipal Corporation

(NMC) informed the Nagpur bench of

Bombay high court

on Thursday that it had identified four sites to accommodate the city’s over 90,000

stray dogs

.
NMC counsel Sudhir Puranik revealed that the identified areas range between 13.49 hectares and 52.73 hectares.
A division bench comprising justices Avinash Gharote and Mukulika Jawalkar directed the civic body to inform the court about the steps taken to make arrangements for accommodating these canines.

“Since the matter is before the Supreme Court, this PIL will be listed on June 13 with the connected matter,” the bench said.
These directives came during the hearing of a PIL by social activist Vijay Talewar through lawyer Firdos Mirza regarding the increasing stray dog menace in the city, which was later converted into a PIL.
Puranik mentioned that NMC had identified one site each at Dudhabhari (Rithi) and Tishti, and two at Tondkhairi. The first two areas are about 46 and 60km from the city, while the latter are 23km away.
