India, Sept. 23 -- A much-publicised plan to feed stray dogs in Bengaluru has hit a roadblock after the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) was dissolved and replaced by the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA).

The initiative, which had created a lot of buzz for its scale and intent, has now been put on hold, The New Indian Express reported.

The BBMP had drawn up a scheme to provide one meal of chicken rice every morning to around 4,000 stray dogs in the city, at an estimated cost of Rs.2.88 crore annually. However, after the administrative transition, the file was sent to GBA Chief Commissioner M Maheshwar Rao, who clarified that the decision now rests with the five newly formed corporations.
