Complaint filed by animal lovers highlights management’s refusal to allow feeders to enter gates

Over 40 dogs are present inside the NESCO gates
The Vanrai police have booked a security guard and a management employee of NESCO exhibition grounds for allegedly causing the deaths of over 26 stray dogs by preventing feeders from entering the premises to provide food and medical assistance. According to police sources, members of the NGO Pure Animal Lover (PAL) and animal lovers claimed in their complaint that they had been regularly feeding and taking stray dogs to vets around the NESCO premises.
However, four security guards, including one named Maurya, and a management employee named Minni (second name not known), stopped them from entering to feed more than 40 stray dogs living there. As a result of starvation and lack of medical attention, over 26 dogs died.
