GMC Faces Backlash Over Stray Animal Removal Ahead of PM’s Guwahati Visit

The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) is under fire for removing stray animals from Boragaon ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit. Locals criticized the move as insensitive, arguing it disrupts both animals and the community.

GMC clarified that the action was preparation for Advantage Assam 2.0 and Jhumoir Binandini events, with directives for transparent handling through photos, CCTV footage, and proper records. Despite this, citizens believe political optics are prioritized over animal welfare and sustainable management.
