In a move that sparked curiosity and some criticism, veterinary officials were seen seizing stray dogs from the lanes around Charminar. According to sources, the action was taken to avoid the presence of street dogs during the high-profile visit of Miss World contestants, ensuring no obstruction or unpleasant visuals during the event.
Over 50 Stray Dogs Shifted to Rehabilitation Centre
Officials confirmed that more than 50 stray dogs were caught and moved to a nearby animal rehabilitation centre. The process was carried out by local veterinary teams, who ensured the animals were handled safely and without harm.
