A unique protest over the stray dog menace took place at the Niphad Nagar Panchayat office in Nashik. Shiv Sena UBT leaders and local residents released a stray dog into the cabin of Chief Officer Dheeraj Bhamre, alleging that repeated complaints about dog attacks had not led to action. The protesters said several residents, including children, had been injured in dog attacks and demanded immediate measures to address the issue. They also placed a symbolic garland of currency notes around the officer’s table while questioning the administration over the alleged lack of action.
