It's not only a question of stray dogs. In fact all the stray animals pose a serious challenge to our safety and mobility. Stray animals have made most of us very dependent for mobility. I hardly use cane these days since I returned to Lucknow as the streets are full of stray dogs, bulls and cows. This is definitely an access issue which we must address to the civic authorities in an organized manner.

I believe the Government and other civic authorities should play a more active role in rounding up stray animals. I remember Pranav complaining about dogs in the neighbourhood where he lives in Mumbai. Pranay Gadodia has been bitten by a dog while on his way to the office. I have nearly been bitten when I stepped on a sleeping dog on my path while walking towards my office. I think stray dogs on the loose in public spaces definitely can be classified as an access issue when it comes to the vision impaired. It is a safety hazard.

Could not resist responding to this though its off topic. I have traveled widely in India. Worked in slums of bangalore and chennai wondered around the cities of Raipur , Bhopal, Delhi and so on. Lived in villages. One thing is clear to me dogs bark when they see a stick (the white cane we hold) when they are single its not a problem they don't attack. when they are in a group They tend to attack. (dog behavior) I was chased by dogs many times in these cities and now what I do is immediately fold my Cain when I here a dog and ask for help. I was about to be bitten by a dog in Bangalore.
