Coimbatore corporation's plan to expand Vellalore ABC centre comes under a cloud
Coimbatore: AIADMK councillors, animal activists, rescuers, veterinarians, and NGOs have raised objections to the city corporation's allotment of 3 crore to improve and expand infrastructure at its animal birth control (ABC) centre at Vellalore. They have demanded that the estimate be scrutinized by experts. In its council meeting on July 31, the corporation passed a resolution allocating 1.99 crore for the construction of four new kennel bays at the ABC at Vellalore. Additionally, an estimate of 96.3 lakh was also allocated for establishing four operation theatres for stray dog sterilisation at the same centre. Another resolution was passed to allocate 71.5 lakh, with 50% contribution from the Operation and Maintenance Deficit Grants Funds 2025-26, for development work at the Vellalore ABC centre. "It is an open scam and it's high time the corporation holds itself accountable for misusing public money," AIADMK councillor (ward 47) R Prabhakaran said. A volunteer of an NGO associated with the corporation said to date, even basic facilities haven't been provided at the ABC centres run by the civic body. He said, "Even providing a fan is considered a luxury for NGOs. If they accommodate 20 dogs per kennel and plan to have four such kennels, the estimate is too high." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo A city-based animal rescuer emphasized that the estimate should be revised. "While there are many loopholes in the accountability of the sterilisation process itself, allocating huge funds for one centre is suspicious. They would just install ordinary tiles, build a compound wall with high fencing, and provide water facilities. Moreover, it won't generate any revenue but only expenses. It's doubtful whether the civic body is genuinely ready to spend on the service. " "It would hardly cost more than 20 lakh per kennel for a 5,000 sq ft area with sophisticated infrastructure like air conditioning," said a private animal breeder who owns a kennel on the city outskirts. Prabhakaran said, "The corporation is not setting up a multispecialty hospital but a facility for stray animals that will be released after 3-5 days. It could rather invest such a huge amount in road patch work, which is the need of the hour." Denying these allegations, corporation commissioner M Sivaguru Prabakaran said, "The corporation plans to construct a huge animal birth control centre at Vellalore with a capacity of 750 stray dogs. We are planning to increase the number of sterilizations. The accusations are baseless, "he said.

Residents raise safety concerns as stray dog population rises in Vasavi Nagar
1 2 Hyderabad: Residents of Vasavi Nagar colony in Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) are at their wits' end over the stray dog menace in their area, which has reportedly risen to worrying proportions over the last several years. Once numbering just a handful, the colony has over 50 stray dogs now. "I am deeply empathetic towards stray dogs. However, their numbers are rising uncontrollably, posing a real risk to residents, particularly children. One stray dog living in my street gave birth to 18 puppies over the last three years. My husband was bitten by a dog a month ago," said Saritha Chitha, a resident who works for a US consultancy. "I don't want the dogs to be removed, but neutering them is absolutely necessary," she said. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad Ravinder Chadha, an IT professional and a resident of the colony, said people have stopped stepping out of their houses because of the stray dog menace. "During the nights, the dogs become erratic and gang up on anybody who steps out of the house, making it unsafe for us, especially senior citizens. Moreover, they keep barking in the night, disturbing our sleep," he said, adding that the stray dogs chase and hassle delivery partners and visitors to the colony. "There are some residents who feed the dogs, because of which more dogs keep coming to the colony. I request these residents to stop feeding them. I also request Blue Cross, which has rescued and nurtured stray dogs from many places across the city, to also adopt the dogs from our colony. Residents won't be bothered anymore and the dogs will be taken care of too," said Telukunta Satish Gupta, a resident. Govt officials said that while they have been actively taking steps to vaccinate stray dogs and execute animal birth control (ABC) programmes, relocating them would be a violation of the law. "We have sterilised over 80% of the stray dogs in the city, and we have been quick to address complaints too. As per the ABC (Dogs) Rules 2001, we have to release the dogs after sterilisation back to where we took them from. So, if residents are demanding for the stray dogs to be relocated to another area, it's simply not possible," said Abdul Wakeel, chief veterinary officer (CVO) of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).

US: F-35 Jet Crashes In California Amid Technical Concerns & Criticism Firstpost America
US: F-35 Jet Crashes In California Amid Technical Concerns & Criticism | Firstpost America | N18G A US Navy F-35 fighter jet crashed near the naval air station Lemoore in central California. Videos from the crash site show thick plumes of black smoke rising from the site. The pilot ejected safely and was assisted by the emergency medical services crew at the scene. In a statement, the US Navy said the aircraft was assigned to a striker squadron known as the "Rough Raiders". While the cause of the crash remains under investigation, the incident has mounted criticism of the Lockheed Martin jet, which is one of the most advanced warplanes in the world. In January this year, a US Air Force F-35A crashed during a training mission in Alaska. Just weeks ago, a British Royal Navy F-35B made global headlines after it remained grounded in India for over a month due to a hydraulic failure which was unserviceable. In recent years, the Lockheed Martin F-35 programme has been fraught with challenges. See More
