Meat and chicken shops, hotels, restaurants, function halls, and other establishments are now under the GHMC’s (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) radar, as the corporation will take stringent action against such establishments if waste and leftovers, including non-veg, are discarded on streets and public places. To avoid the gathering of street dogs in search of food, the GHMC will ensure proper disposal practises. This decision was made in response to recent dog attacks in the city.
It has been observed that meat shop owners throw their waste on roads and corners, causing dogs to congregate in order to consume the waste of meat and chicken. Shaik Sohail a septuagenarian said, “Animal behavior is said to be changed when they eat raw meat. And it is observed that most of the shop owners feed the waste to the dogs and by eating raw non-veg their behavior changes leading to attack on humans, especially kids,” he added.
When any customer goes to the shop, these dogs bark at them and the shop owners have to deal with the situation. “Feeding dogs has to be stopped by these non-veg stores and they have to dispose waste as per the practice adopted by the civic body,” added Sohail.
According to the GHMC, the municipal administration made the necessary arrangements to increase the current capacity of conducting Animal Birth Control (ABC) measures in order to achieve 100% sterilisation of street dogs.
“The tendency of certain trades such non-veg shops, function halls and hostels to not throw non-vegetarian food in raw form. If one is found, stringent action would be taken against them. They were directed not to dispose garbage, waste, and leftovers on the streets or any public places,” said an officer at GHMC.
Furthermore, sanitation staff, including outsourcing staff, would be trained to deal with street dogs and follow the appropriate protocol. The instructions include placing billboards/hoardings in appropriate locations highlighting appropriate behaviour towards and around street dogs.
