There is an alarming situation in the Brahma Sun City Co-Operative Housing Society of Wadgaonsheri, Pune. This has come in the wake of a severe dog attack on a six-year-old child, who was playing within the society's compound at around 5:30pm on Tuesday. Additionally, a 40-year-old woman was also attacked while walking to the temple on October 15. These incidents have caused much distress among the residents who feel they are living in constant fear.
Nagendra Rampuria, a managing committee member of the Society, believes that the Pune Municipal Corporation should build shelters or enclosures for stray dogs in order to address this issue. He has suggested that the residents are willing to contribute funds for this. The PMC has responded with some measures in line with established protocols. The dogs responsible will be taken into custody for a ten-day observation period and will undergo rigorous rabies checks. If any of them are found to be rabid, the necessary procedures will be initiated. It is also proposed that comprehensive sterilization measures are implemented to ensure the safety of the community.
Vineeta Tandon, co-founder of Animal Rescue Trust, has suggested that the incident at the Society is "fake." She has emphasised the importance of cooperation and awareness modules to promote peaceful coexistence between dogs and humans. She stated her intention to file a criminal case regarding the incident in order to prevent such negative attitudes from hampering the process of implementation in the city.
The residents of the Society are hoping that the PMC will take necessary action to relocate these stray dogs to suitable shelters where they can receive proper care. They also suggested identifying feeding points and implementing neck collar bands for the dogs as part of a comprehensive solution. It remains to be seen if the PMC will take any concrete steps to address this issue and provide relief to the residents of Brahma Sun City Co-Operative Housing Society.
