Ranjani Madhavan ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: The animal husbandry department of the civic agency in the city is proposing a census of stray dogs to be done through public participation in various areas. The department has sent a proposal to Manjunath Prasad, the commissioner of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), over the crowdsourced census, which was put forth by Wagg Veterinary Technology, a startup. BBMP had planned to conduct the census post-Lok Sabha elections and is mulling over different ways to do it. During any census, the dogs often wander to another location, which may lead to miscounting or double counting,” Shashikumar S, deputy director, animal husbandry department, said.
