BMC Directs Mumbai University to Permit Feeding of Stray Dogs on Kalina Campus
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has directed the University of Mumbai (MU) to allow feeding of community dogs on its Kalina campus, ensuring animal lovers and volunteers are not barred from entry. This follows complaints about restrictions disrupting feeding arrangements for around 80-94 stray dogs. The BMC cited adherence to the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023, and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and highlighted ongoing sterilisation and vaccination efforts. An all-party meeting is scheduled to discuss the issue further.
