Following a police complaint and pressure from animal welfare activists, community dogs from a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) housing society in Kandivli, which had been relocated to Aarey Milk Colony, will be brought back to the premises of the housing society from where they were taken.

Honorary Animal Welfare officer and Mumbai President of NGO People For Animals Vijay Rangare told mid-day that at present the dogs are in a shelter home and will soon be released to their original location — the housing society at Kandivli East — after sterilisation (birth control) is carried out on the dogs which require it.
