Bengaluru Civic Body Tried To Implement '1 Dog Per Flat' Rule, Tweeple Forced It To Backtrack

 BBMP has limited the number of dogs in a single apartment to one, while independent homes can have a maximum of three dogs.

Bengaluru’s civic body, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), has invited the ire of locals after it proposed a set of new rules for licensing of pet dogs. BBMP has limited the number of dogs in a single apartment to one, while independent homes can have a maximum of three dogs.

According to this new rule, dog owners also have to obtain a license consisting of a radio collar with an embedded chip. If the dog has no license, the pet parent will be fined a sum of Rs 1000.

The decision didn’t go down well with dog parents. And in no time, tweeps started using #NotWithoutMyDog hashtag to express their opinion against the decision. Also, a change.org petition was started, which has been signed by 13,000 users.
