BMC and PFA collaborate for animal welfare
Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has collaborated with People for Animals (PFA) and set up a rehabilitation-cum-treatment centre at Ranasinghpur near AIIMS. The aim is to improve animal health welfare and rehabilitation. Centre-in-charge, Amulya Nayak is managing the treatment with the help of two others, i.e. Maguni and Loknath and volunteers. BMC is aiding in logistics like the bull and cattle transport vehicle and providing other items for cleaning and purifying the premises at Ransinghpur. In addition to attending to injured animals, the Ranasinghpur centre of BMC-PFA is also dealing with stray animals. BMC Additional Commissioner Alok Kumar Kar, in-charge of Animal Birth Control (ABC) and animal welfare programmes in BMC feels, “the PFA team under Amulya is doing a good job. They have also developed expertise to catch mad dogs and bulls and we are really thankful to them for that unique service.’’
