Students of Mithibai College, in association with the NGO Planet for Plants and Animals (PPA) and the social organisation Mumbai North Central District Forum (MNCDF), have embarked on a campaign to put reflective collars on stray dogs across Mumbai. They intend to collar 2,000 canines in the next six weeks with an aim to alert speeding vehicles to the presence of dogs on roads, thus preventing accidents.
“On Sunday, almost 200 students from the junior and degree sections of Mithibai college, apart from student volunteers from PPA, came to Marine Drive where the event was kicked off. The event was attended by a few celebrities who have been vocal about animal welfare,” said Om Bhanushali a second-year Bachelor of Arts (BA) student from Mithibai college.
