Worker

The Manali police have registered an FIR against a sanitation worker of the local Municipal Committee (MC) for allegedly poisoning a dog.

The MC had agreed to provide land and bring stray dogs for sterilisation, but the NGO was asking for Rs 3,000 per dog and there are around 1,000 stray dogs in Manali and its suburbs. MC president Chaman Kapoor said the sanitation worker was only removing the corpse of the dog when the office-bearers of the NGO made his video. The dog was already dead when MC workers reached the spot.
