Hey there, Pune peeps! So, turns out the PMC has been shelling out some serious cash to control the stray dog and cat population in our city. A whopping ₹20 crore has been spent over the past 2.5 years, with the highest chunk of ₹9.37 crore being splurged in the financial year 2023-24.
But here’s the kicker – despite PMC’s claims of sterilizing nearly one lakh dogs and vaccinating over 1.25 lakh dogs, citizens are not convinced. Yep, folks are raising concerns left, right, and center, saying that all these efforts are basically going down the drain.
Even though PMC has been going ham with sterilization and vaccination drives, the stray dog situation seems to be at a standstill. Dog attacks are still on the rise, and residents are not happy campers. Many are straight up saying that PMC’s programs are just not cutting it, and the city is still facing the same old issues.
And if you’re curious about the breakdown of expenses, here you go:
– 2022-23: ₹5,95,10,375
– 2023-24: ₹9,37,33,104
– April 2024 to July 2024: ₹5,05,43,660
So, what’s the deal, Pune? Are all these efforts really making a dent in the stray dog and cat population, or is it all just a big ol’ waste of money? Time will tell, but for now, it seems like we’re still in the doghouse when it comes to this issue.
