Dear all,
Community dogs in Pragati Vihar have been at the receiving end of brutal assault by security guards, acting at the instance of RWA officials, for a long time. FIRs have been lodged and I have written twice about the incidents in my column but to no effect. The matter clearly has to be taken up at the highest level. For this, I need a formal letter from the AWBI to the Commissioner of Police, Delhi, with copies to Deputy Commissioner of Police, South Delhi, and SHO Lodhi Road, calling for action against the culprits under the provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty Act.
I hope this will be done early and I will be able to initiate moves without any delay.
With kind regards
Hiranmay Karlekar
