Pune: Some residents, especially jogging and morning pedestrians, have complained about the threat of wild dogs inside and around the military and housing fields of Pune Cantonment.
A dog package that pursues jogging / morning pedestrians in the area such as the course competition is a common complaint even though there is no dog bites that have been reported in the past.
Many residents have written a letter to the Pune Cantonment (PCB) Agency to overcome priority problems.
PCB does not have its own mechanism or agency to deal with the problem.
In the past, nine attempts to employ agencies through the supply process did not find the takers.
The previous council has traced NGOs for the task, but his contract abundantly in 2018.
Amit Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, PCB, told Toi, “Only one agency that responds to the recent dog notification for our dog management.
We will discuss this issue At the coming public meeting.
“” A number of lolared wild dogs cause threats within the Institute’s premise and pose a serious threat to the safety of the forces, families and children who live in the area, “said the letter written by the Institute of Physical Training Authority Army for PCB.
Likewise, command hospital has also increased this problem, “there is a tremendous increase in the number of wild dogs / cats inside and around the hospital complex, which creates a lot of discomfort for patients and unit personnel.” Cells of the Sub Region of Dakshin Maharashtra and Goa, which are related to civil problems with respect to military regions in the Cantonment, have sterilized wild dogs with NGO assistance.
“The cell has taken a few steps to control the process of their breeding, but residents also need to be aware of wild dogs and their behavior patterns.
They also need to remain vigilant.
These dogs are mainly found in areas where waste is not properly appointed.
This location has become a point for feeding them, “said a senior military officer.
Sanjay Kawade, a resident and activist Ghorpadi, said, “The board must take concrete steps to control this threat.
In some locations, these dogs chase bikers at night.”
