A Shiv Sena (UBT) Yuva Sena leader brought four to five stray dogs into the office of a civic chief in Nashik, Maharashtra, on Tuesday, September 15. District chief Vikram Randhave released the dogs onto the officer's table to protest the administration's failure to handle the growing stray-dog problem. The dogs appeared anxious in their new environment, with one retreating to a corner and another wandering around the office.
Protesters adorned the table with currency notes to emphasize the rising incidents of dog attacks and resident complaints. The protest came after repeated complaints that the civic administration had ignored for several days. Randhave accused the administration of prioritizing the tendering process over addressing the civic issue.
He threatened to repeat the protest in front of residents if no action was taken. This incident echoes a similar protest in Madhya Pradesh, where a man in a dog mask was taken to a public hearing to highlight alleged irregularities in the municipal corporation's sterilization program for stray dogs.
