A man wearing a dog mask walked into the Khandwa Collectorate during Tuesday’s weekly public hearing, drawing attention to the city’s stray dog problem. The unusual protest was organised alongside Municipal Corporation Leader of Opposition Deepak Rathore, who alleged that around Rs 40 lakh had been spent on sterilisation drives over four years, even as thousands of dog-bite cases were reported, a TOI report stated.
Dog mask protest at public hearing
The unusual scene unfolded at the Khandwa Collectorate when a man dressed as a dog arrived at the Jan Sunwai wearing a canine mask.
Security personnel initially stopped him and Rathore from entering the hearing venue because of the unusual appearance. The duo was later allowed inside after opposition leaders intervened and insisted that they be permitted to attend the public hearing.
