Dog poop on streets bugs residents

If you go on walks in the inner streets of Abiramapuram – R. A. Puram neighbourhood before dawn you surely must have sighted a number of people walking their dogs.

Some of the owners of pets are out here because they want the animals to excrete.

Result – dog poop is found here and there in the streets. This creates a civic problem and is bothering local residents. Only a few owners of dogs clear the poop to dispose it elsewhere.

Recently, a civic-minded resident has hung a banner from a tree in the area, asking dog owners not to allow dog poop to be left on streets and roadsides. ‘Bring your poop scooper and poop bag’, suggests the notice.

A photo of this banner was shared by Vasanthi Rajiv of Janaki Avenue.
