The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) recently announced a first-of-its-kind initiative to feed about 5,000 stray dogs across the city with nutritious meals of chicken rice, egg rice, as reported by Hindustan Times. The initiative will soon start for stray dogs, aiming to tame dog aggression and enhance public safety.
As reported, the local body will deliver one meal a day of 367 grams, designed to meet the nutritional needs of a typical 15kg dog.
As per a recent survey, the number of stray dogs in the city goes up to 2.7 lakh. The BBMP has estimated that it will cost the civic body ₹2.88 crore a year.
After the announcement of the move, social media got flooded with praise from dog lovers. The drive also sparked a flood of humorous reactions and memes on social media.
