Jamshedpur Tackles Stray Animal Menace

In response to increasing incidents involving stray animals and significant public safety concerns, the East Singhbhum district administration has established a dedicated 10-member committee. This group will focus on surveying, rescuing, and relocating stray animals from public areas across Jamshedpur.

The initiative directly addresses the critical issue of over 700 dog bites reported annually within the urban circle. Stray bulls, abandoned cows, and street dogs will be humanely transported to shelter homes, ensuring their proper care and reducing potential hazards on the roads. The goal is to significantly decrease road accidents attributed to stray animals.

This comprehensive drive, covering the JNAC, MNAC, and JMC areas, also seeks to improve the city's animal management system and enhance general cleanliness. The committee, comprising veterinary and municipal officials, will follow established animal welfare guidelines during their operations, ensuring a systematic and ethical approach to managing the stray animal population.
