Fed up of dog owners not getting their pets' crap together, the BMC has decided to drop a deuce on them — through fines. The BMC started levying fines from early December 2018, and in less than a month, collected the highest amount of poop penalties from the D ward (Malabar Hill and Napean Sea Road) and H West ward (Bandra and Santa Cruz), cumulatively amounting to Rs 70,500.

BMC took up the drive on December 3 to ensure dog owners or walkers clean up after their dogs and stop littering in public spaces. This action came on civic chief Ajoy Mehta's directions. In less than a month, the highest number of crappy offenders were observed from two of Mumbai's most coveted neighbourhoods.
