Mundhra said, “After my partner and I read the mid-day report, we decided to adopt Rani. I contacted Mohanani and adopted her today. We already have a female golden retriever pup and wanted to get another. Sonal wanted us to adopt a dog in need. Rani is very cute and instantly mingled with our family.”

March held against order on feeding strays

The march saw the attendance of local residents, students, animal lovers and stray feeders from various parts of the city.

Vijay Mohanani, president of the NGO, said that the order by the Nagpur bench of the Bombay HC stating that feeders should not feed strays on the road has led to problems. 

“People are citing the order to stop us from feeding the animals. So, more than 400 feeders joined the march against the order,” said Karan Sharma from NGO Heavens Abode Foundation.

Meanwhile, Mohanani said, “In less than two years, we have seen two gruesome cases of sodomisation of dogs in Powai. There have also been multiple cases of attacks, abuse and violence against strays as well as feeders. So, we decided to stand up for these speechless animals and their feeders.”
