Residents of the Raheja Circle area in Mohamadwadi gathered near Vibgyor School in large numbers to raise their voices against stray dogs and pigeon feeding. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) officials were also present, and they assured the residents that the stray dogs would be sterilised and strict action would be taken against pigeon feeding. Ashok Mehendale, a resident of Raheja Society, said, "Beside Vibgyor School, there's a space, and it is not properly lit, and a lot of anti-social activities take place, and we are also troubled by dog menace in our area, there are around 40-70 stray dogs in this area and at night they start barking, and in recent one month there have been four cases of dog bites."
