They told the commissioner that ever since a few residents began feeding the dogs, they have been roaming around freely in the society and the number of the dogs has increased.
The residents had filed a complaint with the MCG to get the dogs removed, however, an animal rights NGO contradicted the residents by telling the MCG that the dogs were friendly and harmful. The residents had also approached the police station in Sector 50, Gurugram but were sent back without any help or support.
