Yuva Sena Protest Releases Stray Dogs in Nashik Panchayat Office Over Menace
In Nashik's Niphad Nagar Panchayat office, Yuva Sena district chief Vikram Randhave and supporters staged a protest by releasing stray dogs on the chief officer's table to highlight the growing stray dog menace. They alleged repeated complaints about dog bites and public safety risks had been ignored. Randhave demanded immediate sterilisation drives and dog-catching measures. The civic official said tenders had been issued to address the issue. Following the protest, police registered cases against Randhave and others for obstructing public servants and animal cruelty. Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray condemned the handling of dogs during the protest but supported raising the issue.
