🐾 Stray Dogs: Bengaluru’s Big Fix Begins
SC deadline meets a vet crunch - your locality will see changes soon.
The Supreme Court wants 100% sterilisation and vaccination of street dogs, and the Greater Bengaluru Area (GBA) has only three months to deliver. The problem? A serious shortage of veterinary staff.
Ward-level ABC programmes are running on a skeleton crew. Now, GBA is racing to hire contract vets, open new sterilisation units, and target dog-heavy zones - Koramangala, Whitefield, Indiranagar, Yelahanka. Expect more dog-catching vans, louder RWA involvement, and awareness camps in your area. The city’s stray management is finally getting teeth.

📱 Trending: The ₹1‑Lakh Gourd Guy
You’ve probably seen the clip: a vegetable vendor at KR Market wearing a futuristic AI headset, calmly weighing brinjals. The twist? He claimed the headset helps him track real-time market prices, translate customer queries, and manage inventory -pushing his monthly income past ₹1 lakh.
The internet is split. Some hail him as a gig-economy Einstein, others scent a set‑up for a tech commercial. Either way, the man has turned a humble cart into Bengaluru’s most unexpected start‑up pitch. As one Redditor put it, “Bro is doing prompt engineering with ridge gourd.” Only in Namma Bengaluru.
