The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will revamp the derelict cattle pound in Malad west at a cost of Rs 10 crore. The two-storey structure at Evershine Nagar, Malad West will have separate enclosures for sick and young animals and a 24x7 medical facility. 

The pound currently lacks the necessary facilities for animals. The water from the gutters gets mixed with the fodder. The cattle fall sick after consuming the fodder and are also injured due to the broken covers of the gutters of the pound. Many die as there isn’t even a basic medical facility at the site. Many animal activists have lodged complaints about the poor conditions but the situation hasn't improved for years.
