The chairman of the society told a news agency that around 98 percent of people in the society passed a resolution against the woman. He added that it is his duty to follow what the residents want. After the woman approached an animal right activist, the charging of fine was stopped. But it was however resumed later.
The chairman also alleged that the dogs are aggressive and they bark at the residents and kids. He said that the residents are also concerned about hygiene issues. Bora said he does not have a problem if they feed the dog outside the society premises.
