Stray dog menace: Kerala municipal heads stage protest

Leading the protest organised by the Kerala Municipality Chairmen Chamber, an organisation representing civic body chiefs, Lok Sabha MP Rajesh said the minister was not concerned about the stray dogs menace even though kids were being attacked. “Maneka Gandhi’s love for animals is affecting lakhs of people in Kerala. Stray dogs have become a nightmare. The minister is not concerned about any of these,” he said. The protest at Jantar Mantar saw participation of almost all the municipal chiefs in the state. The MP from Palakkad also condemned the Union Minister’s call for invoking the Kerala Anti-social Activities Prevention Act (KAAPA) against those who were involved in culling of ‘dangerous’ strays.
