Yuva Sena Protest Releases Stray Dogs Inside Nashik Panchayat Office Over MenacePreviousNext

In Nashik's Niphad town, Yuva Sena district chief Vikram Randhave led a protest by releasing stray dogs inside the Nagar Panchayat office to highlight the growing stray dog menace. Protesters allege repeated complaints about increasing dog bites and public safety risks, especially to children and senior citizens, have been ignored. Randhave demanded immediate sterilisation drives and better dog-catching measures. The civic administration stated tenders had been floated to address the issue. The protest coincided with concerns during the Ganeshotsav festival.
