We have a parrot in cage. I read in class 7.I feel pity for it.kindly help and allow it to fly anywhere it wants if it able to fly.
This helpline number is not useful at all. It is just telling that the number is busy. I have Been calling for 2hrs straight and it is telling that the number is busy. I have a street fog who is 4months old something happened to him he is not waking up and not eating so kindy help.
I called them and the shocking part is they told ambulance is not working. What the hell in smart city if we are getting this kind of answers what about rural areas i am thinking.
Here hockey inauguration millions of money flow like water but for ambulance they don’t have money. Shame government. Shocking
It is of no use.From last 1day I called and registered complain for the treatment of my pet dog.But after 48hrs also no help was rendered. My pet dog died yesterday but the BMC didn’t helped us carrying my pet’s body.I and my brother took my pet’s body. BMC is worthless. Such rude peoples. It can’t be the senerio of a smart city.
I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the lack of response from the Odisha government Animal helpline ( recently Launched by Honourable CM ) in a recent incident involving an injured stray dog. The dog, which had been paralyzed due to an accident, was in desperate need of assistance and immediate medical attention. The response was that the dog should be transferred to OUAT, and the Animal Helpline cannot do much about it. It raises questions about the practicality and purpose of launching such a service.
