Oxygen parks to reduce air pollution in Hyderabad

The GHMC’s initiative to convert flyovers in Hyderabad into green spaces is a step in the right direction. It will create a sustainable and healthy environment for the people of the city.
By utilizing the vacant spaces under the flyovers, the city will not only look greener but also be more livable for its citizens.

Telangana animal husbandry minister, Talasani Srinivas Yadav held a high-level meeting with home minister Mahmood Ali, city Mayor Gadwal Vijayalaxmi, and MAUD special chief secretary Arvind Kumar on Thursday, to discuss measures to avoid animal attack incidents.
Admitting that there is a serious stray dog menace prevailing in the city, the state government has decided to take measures to control dog-biting cases by forming eight teams.
The teams will conduct special drives to keep a tab on meat and chicken shops that dump waste on the roads and initiate strict action against erring shop owners.

The instructions issued include setting up billboards/hoardings at suitable locations highlighting the appropriate behaviour towards and around street dogs.
The civic body will also distribute the pamphlets in both government and private schools detailing the ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ts’ of behaviour around street dogs.
To alleviate the aggression of street dogs during the summer, an adequate number of water bowls will be arranged in suitable locations, preferably away from places of greater public movement.
