Kharagpur: IIT Kharagpur has issued a notice revoking permission for feeding stray dogs inside the campus. The notice also asked the nodal officer (security) to ensure that stray dogs do not enter and inhabit the campus.IIT-Kgp, in Oct, had prohibited feeding of stray dogs inside the halls of residence after getting several complaints of dog bites from students and parents. A committee was also formed, which recommended that a large pet care zone be constructed, preferably near the helipad and MG Stadium, to keep the stray dogs.A member of the animal welfare society said, “We want this order to be revoked. The first page of the order prohibits feeding stray dogs, but according to the notice of the Supreme Court attached to the second page, it nowhere says feeding is illegal.”
