Protesters in Nashik place puppies on a civic official’s table to draw attention to what they describe as a growing stray dog problem. The protest centers on complaints about increasing incidents of dog bites in the Nagar Panchayat limits, with demonstrators using the dogs as a visual demonstration of the issue.
Shiv Sena (UBT) district youth wing functionary Vikram Randhave says more than 400 stray dogs roam the area and that over 100 residents are injured by dog bites every month. The report frames the protest as an attempt to pressure local authorities to address the stray dog menace, though the outlets do not detail any specific municipal response within the account.
Across the coverage, the core claims and method of protest are consistent: protesters highlight the frequency of dog-bite injuries and urge civic action, including by staging the puppies on the official’s table. No additional confirmed data beyond the protesters’ figures is provided in the cited summaries.
