Western Railway Appoints Nodal Officers to Manage Stray Dogs at Mumbai Stations
Western Railway (WR) has appointed station masters and superintendents as nodal officers to manage stray dog presence at Mumbai railway stations, following Supreme Court directives issued last year. These officers will monitor premises, coordinate with municipal authorities, take preventive measures, maintain records, and display their contact details for commuter complaints. The initiative aims to improve response times by streamlining coordination between WR and civic bodies, covering stations along the Western Line from Churchgate to Borivali.
