Having been elected Corporator, Imran Khedawala should do something more than

just whine.

 

The AMC has been most pro-active in having an ABC programme launched in

Ahmedabad many years ago with the help of Animal Help Foundation. The

three founders pumped in millions of their personal money for the sake of

their city. The Corporation Commissioner, Capt. Mahajan, gave them all

help.

 

And the short-sighted councillors stopped the only programme which would

have given them results. Catching dogs and dumping them in forests will

not solve the issue. Only a scrupulous adherence to the Dog Control (ABC)Rules

can do this. Not only is the AMC breaking the law, the elected law-breakers are

doing a great disservice to the people of Ahmedabad.
