Dogs — Urgent Action Needed: Stray Dog Menace in Our Area

Address: N.H school road, Mira Road East, Thane-401107

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious concern regarding the increasing population of stray dogs in our locality. The situation has become alarming, affecting the safety and well-being of residents, especially children.

Description of the Problem:

Stray Dogs Everywhere: Stray dogs have multiplied significantly in our area, making it difficult for residents to move around freely.

Safety Hazards: These dogs often follow people, creating safety hazards for pedestrians and two-wheeler riders. Just two days ago, I had a near-accident when three dogs suddenly appeared behind me while I was riding my bike.

Children at Risk: The presence of aggressive stray dogs poses a threat to children who play in the vicinity. There have been instances of dog bites, and parents are worried about their safety.
Difficulty in Commuting: Residents find it increasingly challenging to walk or drive due to the constant fear of encountering aggressive dogs.

Specific Areas Affected:
Madhuvan Park
Western Park
Kingston Apartment Lane - Mira Road East (Thane 401107)

Request for Immediate Action: I kindly request the MBMC to take urgent action to address this issue. Specifically, I propose the following steps:

Dog Van Deployment: Please arrange for regular dog van patrols in our area to capture and relocate stray dogs.

Sterilisation Drives: Conduct sterilisation drives to control the stray dog population.

Our community’s safety and peace of mind depend on swift action. I urge you to prioritize this matter and ensure the safety of residents.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.

Sincerely,
Ubaid Shaikh
