Bengaluru may soon be home to a new dog park. For more than a year, several pet owners in the city have been bringing their dogs to the Domlur park, and so, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) may soon declare it as the official dog park.
BBMP Special Commissioner D Randeep told The Hindu:
The area, which had once been a garbage dumping site, was transformed into a park by the Ugly Indians group, along with a few residents of Domlur, who had approached the local corporator, Lakshminarayan CR and sought permission for the same.
The corporator further added that the vast space, spread over 8,000 square feet, would soon be fenced and improved with all amenities, including a jumping track for dogs.
Animal rights activist VK Elango said, “He appreciated our initiative and pledged to help us. We have not appointed anyone to clean the park. Dog owners clear the faeces and drop it in the drop-pit. We remove dry leaves from the park once a month.”
It has also been noted that aggressive dogs and dogs that are yet to be fully vaccinated will not be allowed into the park as per the rules set forth by the citizens of Domlur.
