Noida Twin Towers Demolition: 40 stray dogs shifted; NGOs urge to hold 'dummy explosion' to save birds

New Delhi: At least 40 stray dogs living in and around the Supertech twin towers in Uttar Pradesh’s Noida have been shifted temporarily to shelters run by NGOs ahead of the Supreme Court-mandated implosion of the buildings on Sunday.

An NGO has also requested authorities to conduct a dummy explosion or a false firing just before the twin towers are razed in order to save the birds in the area.

Several NGOs, including House of Stray Animals, Friendicoes, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and Happy Tails foundation have pitched in to accommodate the stray dogs temporarily.

“We are planning and working since 8 August to save these stray animals from the impacts of demolition. We also requested the authorities concerned to make two or three false firing or dummy explosions first so that the birds do not get affected due to the blasts,” Mohapatra told PTI.

He said around 40 stray dogs have been shifted to shelters.

The volunteers of the NGOs also carried out awareness campaigns outside the premises of the twin tower and advised people to vacate the area along with their pets temporarily.

“We have been working in association with Noida Authority and Noida police to evacuate stray animals. When we got to know that demolition date was postponed to 28 August, we formed a team on 21 August considering we had some more time to save these voiceless creatures,” Mohapatra said.

He said the evacuated stray animals will be returned to the area by evening.
