The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is launching a new initiative called ‘Coexisting Champion’ to address the issue of aggression among stray dogs due to hunger.


According to BBMP’s Health, Animal Husbandry, and Welfare Department, a significant number of community animals in Bengaluru are not receiving adequate food. Many strays struggle to get even one meal a day.


This food scarcity has been linked to increased aggression in stray dogs, leading to a rise in dog bite incidents.


To tackle this, the BBMP plans to collaborate with animal keepers, local businesses, civil servants, and other stakeholders to ensure stray dogs are regularly fed.

As part of the initiative, the BBMP will begin registering animal keepers who feed stray dogs.


This voluntary registration will allow individuals to sign up through a link provided on the social media pages of the Animal Husbandry Department.


The registration process will begin on October 2 and will remain open until October 31, aiming to create a sustainable database of animal feeders.


Although registration is not compulsory, the BBMP believes this will help streamline efforts and ensure a coordinated approach to feeding stray dogs. Ultimately promoting a peaceful coexistence between the animals and the city’s residents.
