Mayor Yadav's disputed statement: It has been decided by the municipality that if a loose quadruped is found anywhere, it should be seized and paid a fine, if not paid, it will be confiscated.
Naveen Kumar Yadav, Mayor of Siraha Municipality, has ordered to take control of stray animals found on the road and pay fines to their owners and if they do not pay, they should be eaten. Mayor Yadav gave such instructions to the municipal employees.
The video of this expression given by him while giving instructions to the employees during the sanitation program held last Wednesday in Siraha Municipality-11 Bhaluwahi is now becoming controversial on social media.
Mayor Yadav has said, 'It has been decided by the municipality, if any loose quadrupeds are found somewhere, they should be arrested and paid a fine, if they don't pay, they will be confiscated.' He said this after the complaints of the locals that the municipality was running a sanitation campaign but it was not implemented properly.
Arvind Yadav of Siraha says that Mayor Yadav's statement that the state should do policy work to make citizens aware will cause more chaos. 'There is a lack of awareness among the citizens,' he said, 'the state should fix that, not increase chaos.' When Mayor Yadav was called to talk about this matter, he did not want to be contacted.
