Hyderabad, April 23: In order to provide relief to stray animals and birds reeling under scorching heat, animal rights organisations appealed to Chief Minister K Rosaiah to ensure that drinking water tubs are kept at open places in all major towns and villages for the poor creatures to quench their thirst.
Animal Rights Organisation president D Ram Mohan Rao told newsmen that hundreds of stray animals were dying unable to get drinking water in view of acute scarcity.
“The Chief Minister responded positively to our request and promised us that he would instruct officials to take pre-cautionary measures to protect stray animals,” he said.
Various organisations would also take up this initiative with their own funds. People for Animals president Dattatreya Joshi, Bharatiya Prani Mitra Sangh secretary Jasaraja and social activist Mahesh Agarwal were among those present.
