Pet owners will no longer have to resort to dumping their deceased furry companions in open garbage sites. Land has already been identified in Damra near Asansol, and the Detailed Project Report (DPR) is currently being prepared. Urban Development Minister Agnimitra Paul confirmed that following the initial launch in Asansol, this welfare model will be replicated across the entire state of West Bengal.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the deep emotional bond between families and their pets, the Minister emphasized that this initiative will ensure hygienic, dignified final rites while effectively curbing environmental pollution and foul odors.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in compliance with Supreme Court directives, major measures are being introduced for stray dogs. To avoid conflicts between animal lovers and local residents, ward-wise dog-feeders will be issued official identity cards, with records shared directly with local police stations. Designated feeding zones featuring raised platforms, steel bowls, and fresh water will be constructed in every ward. In an added eco-friendly move, earthen pots with grain and water will also be installed on government trees to feed wild birds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a groundbreaking initiative, the state government is set to revolutionize animal welfare by constructing dedicated burial grounds and crematoriums for pets and domestic animals.
