AMID the ongoing debate surrounding the Supreme Court’s directions to municipal corporations to create dedicated public areas for feeding street animals and relocating strays to municipal community centres, the BMC has issued a public notice seeking feedback from citizens about creating feeding zones. The notice states that BMC is looking to start community feeding spots across the city for cats and dogs.

Recently, the apex court stated that feeding strays in public spaces was now prohibited; however, dedicated feeding zones must be created by municipal bodies. The announcement read: ‘BMC’s Veterinary Health Department is looking to designate community animal feeding spots, we need your help!’
