In a pioneering move, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has announced an INR 2.8 crore plan, dubbed "Kukkir Tihar", to provide daily meat-based meals, including chicken and egg rice, to stray dogs across all eight zones of Bengaluru. The initiative aims to feed around 600 to 700 street dogs per zone, promoting better health and addressing the growing canine population. BBMP officials emphasised that this effort is a critical public health measure to reduce aggression and improve hygiene in the city. While animal welfare groups have welcomed the scheme as a compassionate step, some residents criticised the move as a misplaced priority amid ongoing human hardships. The meal distribution will begin soon, following the finalisation of service providers through the tender process. Bengaluru Horror: Stray Dog Dies After Being Run Over by SUV, Case Registered As Disturbing Video Goes Viral.
