Bengaluru: Lokayukta Justice BS Patil has directed all commissioners of the Greater Bangalore Authority (GBA) to establish dog shelters.
The order came during a hearing on September 15.
The hearing addressed issues of solid waste management, stray dog menace, and lake rehabilitation across the five corporations under the newly formed GBA. Commissioners of all five corporations were present.
Patil ordered the identification of stray dogs within each jurisdiction to facilitate treatment and the construction of shelters.
For improved waste disposal, he suggested installing CCTV cameras at blackspots to curb littering, along with awareness campaigns and fines against repeat offenders.
On lake rehabilitation, he asked commissioners to clear encroachments, prevent wastewater entry into lakes, and submit reports on action taken.
