A small group of people have congregated outside Mumbai’s Joggers Park on Indian independence day. Monsoon rains that have hit swathes of the country have drenched them to their skin, but they have not been deterred.

They added that MCD should show ‘the same level of excitement’ in building dedicated feeding spaces as they showed for catching stray dogs and putting them in shelters.

MCD has begun the process of identifying points for designating them as feeding areas for stray dogs. Meanwhile, Resident Welfare Associations have said that SC's directive on designated feeding points in every locality is ‘impractical’.
