A viral video showing a stray dog inside a passenger lounge at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad has drawn public reaction, with viewers raising concerns about hygiene and passenger safety. The incident, captured and shared online, shows the dog moving within the airport lounge area, prompting calls for stronger controls to prevent animals from entering restricted spaces.
Airport authorities respond by stating they are coordinating with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) for dog control measures. They have also reportedly reinforced waste management protocols at the airport, aiming to reduce attractions such as exposed waste that could draw animals into public areas.
Reporting also indicates that preventive steps are being implemented to avoid a recurrence. However, the sources differ on whether the specific entry point that allowed the animal to reach the lounge is fully identified or publicly addressed. Overall, the airport’s stated focus remains on containment, waste management improvements, and coordinated municipal action to manage stray animals around the terminal.
