Following the death of a one-year-old due to a stray dog bite, the residents of a housing society in Noida’s Sector 100, protested and blocked roads on Tuesday.
Noida Authority official, OSD, Indu Prakash, said that the civic body will construct four shelter homes for stray dogs. “We are going to construct 4 shelter homes for stray dogs. The work is in progress. We started sterilising stray dogs in 2017 and over 40,000 dogs have been sterilised so far. We will build shelter homes for dogs in the same way as we have been doing for cows, “said Prakash.
However, residents of the society didn’t seem satisfied with the decision. A resident said, “We are not satisfied with the authorities. The stray dogs are going into shelters, but when they come back, there is no change in them. We have raised this issue since 2018 but nothing is happening.”
The police further said necessary action is being taken.
