The BMC on Friday relaunched its drive against pets pooping within the open in D ward and set up a special workforce of 32 clean-up marshals to patrol these posh spaces.
Since the relaunch of the drive, the BMC has penalized 16 pet owners in D ward.

Civic officers mentioned they are going to not simply positive errant pet owners, but also train them about selecting up the poop. “Poop scoops are easily available out there; these can be utilized to be sure that their pets do not dirty the streets,” mentioned an reliable.
It is in 2007 that the BMC first deliberate to positive other people Rs 500 if they allow their pets to litter in public puts and do not clean it up. Subsequently, pamphlets were distributed to all IAS officials’ houses in Churchgate and the BMC had made up our minds to increase the rule to spaces like Cuffe Parade and Marine Drive. But it was once not implemented.
Then in October 2016, the BMC first introduced the drive at Marine Drive. It deployed clean-up marshals along the three.5km promenade particularly to positive other people for not cleansing their pet’s poop. The determination to let the clean-up marshals positive pet owners was once taken after a number of Marine Drive residents complained about pet poop making it tough for them to jog at the promenade.
