Maharashtra To Let Retired Police Dogs Stay With Handlers At State Expense
Devendra Fadnavis said a dog that has served the police force for 10 years should not be made to suffer after retirement. He emphasised that such animals should be allowed to spend the rest of their lives comfortably.
Mumbai: Maharashtra's Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, has announced a compassionate policy for retired police dogs. The decision states that these loyal animals will remain with the police force even after completing their 10-year service. Previously, retired dogs were often adopted, which could negatively impact their mental health.
Fadnavis expressed concern over this, stating that dogs should be treated well after retirement. The police dogs will stay with their handlers and the force for the remainder of their lives. The Home Department will cover all costs related to their sustenance.
