Rajbir Rai is a businessman in Chandigarh who owns 12 dogs in Sector 8. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) has ordered the owner for the immediate removal of the canines owing to the complaints raised by neighbors.
The house owner in question has kept a Lhasa Apso and three German Shepherds as pets and is also giving shelter to stray dogs. Rajbir Rai was earlier staying in Sector 15 and moved to Sector 8 about two years back.
In the show-cause notice issued on August 11, Rajbor has been told to “remove the dogs from the area and shift them to some other convenient place”. He has also been asked why the order should not be enforced and the cost to be taken from him. In case, he fails to complete, the owner needs to appear before the SDM on September 1, 2021.
As per Bylaws of Chandigarh Registration of Pet Dogs allows residents to keep a maximum of four canines, out of which at least two must be adopted stray dogs.
Rajbir’s neighbor says, “For the past two years, we have been facing inconvenience due to these dogs, who keep fighting with each other and howling through the night, making it difficult for us to sleep. We have been requesting Rajbir to do something about it, and despite all assurances, he has failed to shift the dogs.”
