00:00See, you may be aware that BBMP takes a lot of steps to not only control the population of street dogs,
00:10but at the same time, given that most of the rabies cases are coming from dogs only.
00:16So, in that direction also we keep on taking many initiatives like controlling the population of dogs,
00:21vaccinating dogs, not only for the rabies vaccination, but for other combined vaccinations.
00:26As a part of that initiative only, one of the thought was that wherever in BBMP areas where the dog bite cases are more,
00:37either feeders are not there or there are feeder and local conflicts are there.
00:43In those areas, in order to reduce the aggressiveness or let's say scavenging activities of the dogs,
00:51BBMP should take up the feeding and it is in complete consonance with AWBI's,
00:54animal husbandry guidelines only.
00:59So, keeping those things in mind, wherever these kind of focused areas are there,
01:05there we are planning to take up the feeding and as you rightly said, in BBMP there are 8 zones.
01:10In each zone, 36 lakhs rupees amount is allocated and in each zone we will be taking around 400 to 500 dogs for feeding
01:19or at 100 locations per zone.
01:24So,
