Abandoned animals on the road: BTP writes to BBMP to address problem
The HinduIf you are someone who drives a vehicle on Bengaluru roads, it is not uncommon for you to encounter a stray cow, dog, or bull on the way. “Abandoned animals, including cows, dogs, and other stray animals, are frequently found wandering on the streets, causing obstacles and hazards to vehicular traffic,” said M.N. Our traffic personnel have reported numerous instances of vehicles slowing down or sudden stops to avoid hitting these animals, which can lead to rear-end collisions and other accidents.” This problem is prevalent, especially in south Bengaluru areas like Basavanagudi, Banashankari, K.R. During night hours, if the animal is slightly dark in colour, then it becomes difficult to even spot them,” said Shruthi Krishna, a resident of Basavanagudi. In his letter, Mr. Anucheth had requested the BBMP, which is the nodal agency for animal welfare and urban management, to remove the abandoned animals from the streets.
