In what is being termed as animal cruelty at the hands of a government agency, a Monorail commuter has alleged that guard dogs are being kept in pathetic conditions with most of them being unwell. The dogs were noticed by animal lover Cookkie Khanna, who accompanied her sons for a Monorail ride on Friday, November 22.
According to Khanna, the dogs appeared ill and starving. She contacted Monorail's its chief security officer, submitted a complaint and alerted animal welfare activists Nandita Saigal and Nirali Garodia.
