Dehradun, July 15 -- Uttarakhand's urban development department is likely to soon issue fresh directions to urban local bodies (ULBs) with regard to dog breeds such as Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Bulldogs after an elderly woman was attacked by two Rottweiler dogs in Dehradun, according to an official. Gaurav Kumar, director, urban development, said, "There are already directions in place for ULBs from our side. Animal birth control centres are operated. We fund them. The enforcement and imposition of fines is carried out by the ULBs at their level. Being autonomous bodies, ULBs make bylaws in this regard, and act accordingly." He said, "A meeting is scheduled in this regard soon. We will issue fresh directions to ULBs to further strengthen the regulation of dog breeds such as Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Bulldogs." On July 7, Dehradun police detained a 40-year-old man after his two Rottweiler dogs attacked a 75-year-old woman who is now battling for her life, a police official said. A case was registered against the accused, Nafees Ahmed, under section 291 (Negligent conduct with respect to animal) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Rajpur police station on July 6. Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Ajai Singh said, "On July 6, we received a complaint from woman's son Umang Nirwal stating that his mother Kaushlya Devi was attacked by two Rottweiler dogs when she was on her way to a temple near her house in Kishanpur Jakhan. We registered the FIR and began an investigation into the matter. It came to light that the dogs belonged to Nafees Ahmed and he didn't obtain any license from Dehradun Municipal Corporation for keeping the dangerous breed. We have taken him into custody and is currently being questioned." "In Dehradun, there have been multiple reports of attacks by dogs of these breeds. I appeal to the general public: if anyone in your vicinity is facing issues due to such dogs, please report it immediately to the Police Control Room at 112 or inform the Municipal Corporation office," he added. In June 2018, the Uttarakhand high court had directed the state government to ensure there were no stray dogs on the roads of the state within six months. "First of all the concerned authority will determine the number of stray dogs in every town, city and village. Necessary arrangements shall be made for the construction of shelter houses in every place", the order said....
