Jagran correspondent, New Delhi. Delhi Municipal Corporation has formed patrolling teams to prevent accidents caused by stray animals on highways and major roads in fog. Two patrolling teams will patrol various roads in Delhi day and night. Whatever complaint comes to the stray animal control room, it will be taken up as soon as possible and sent to the cow shed.
This patrolling team will keep an eye on the major roads of PWD like Ring Road, Najafgarh Road. At the same time, this team will also monitor all the highways of the National Highway Authority. An official of the Veterinary Services Department said that five people each have been deployed in two teams. Besides, a driver and a supervisor will also be deployed with them. He told that the team will have an animal catching vehicle. One team will work from 2 pm to 10 pm and the other team will work from 2 pm to 2 am.
He told that this campaign is going on in collaboration with PWD because there is a high possibility of road accidents in fog. At the same time, we are working to ensure that accidents do not happen due to animals.
PWD has put up boards to write MCD's helpline 155305. If anyone sees a stray animal on the highway, they can complain about it on these boards. On receiving the complaint, the MCD team will take immediate action and remove the animal from there.
It is noteworthy that there are 1400 kilometers of PWD roads in Delhi. In such a situation, experts are praising this team but the beginning has been made. Because once it has started, it will gradually increase.
