Neighbour feeding strays inside building. Need advice. [OC]
I need advice about a situation in our residential building in Delhi.
A neighbour regularly feeds stray dogs and lets them into the building, often sending them up in the lift. Residents frequently find dogs in the lift, which is often left dirty or smelly.
The dogs sometimes enter homes when doors are open and occasionally defecate near entrances. Many children and elderly residents feel uncomfortable because the dogs gather in common areas.
I am not against dogs, but there should be a balance between caring for them and keeping shared spaces safe and clean for residents. The neighbour refuses to discuss the issue and becomes rude when concerns are raised.
Has anyone faced a similar situation in Delhi? What practical or legal steps can residents take while ensuring the dogs are treated humanely?
TL;DR: A neighbour in our Delhi residential building regularly feeds stray dogs and allows them into the building and lifts, creating cleanliness and safety concerns for residents. We want to address the issue humanely and legally while respecting animal welfare.
