After the tragic Jalahalli incident where an elderly woman was more to death by street dogs, we started looking at other large locations where there were similar populations of free roaming dogs across the large area. Neuter/vaccination was a CRITICAL need. Hebbal veterinary hospital has over 300 dogs. This is not counting the pedigree dogs are abandoned. After escalating this matter to the BBMP special Commissioner and BBMP DD they agreed to have an all hands meeting at the Hebbal veterinary Hospital with the dean presiding and other members from ABC, Govt n NGOs
