Based on complaints from residents of Sector 3, BBMP has issued a notice to resident Sudha Venkatesh today to stop rearing and selling cats within three days, failing which the law will take its course.
“When the BBMP tried serving the notice (for health and safety concerns) on the breeder yesterday, they initially declined to accept it, but later acknowledged it,” says resident Gowtham Reddy, the primary complainant. “The breeder and shelterer was raising her voice and threatening me for complaining with the authorities. She had rowdies at her place, at least five guys.”
The notice by health inspector Vinodh GM says that the BBMP officials found the inhabitants of house number 183, 21st Cross, 18th Main, Sector 3, “rearing and selling” cats.
Here is a scan of the notice. In case the inhabitants fail to comply with the order, BBMP will take further action under the Karnataka Municipal Corporation (KMC) Act 1976 under Section 443 (4).
