At a time when even people don’t have time their own family a Non profitable Organization “KARMA” NGO is sincerely making efforts to provide perfect hospitality for stray Dogs in the City of Temples.



“Dogs and Cats are the only creatures who are also dependable to the human meals so being a human it’s our moral duty to make some effort to retain these creatures as long as we can” says Heena Syal.

In a bid to fight the menace of rising number of stray dogs, an NGO has helped the canine to find new homes. NGO ‘Karma’ a group associated with People for Animals group (PFA) has decided to help stray dogs in the city of temples to find a perfect home.
In this discipline Miss Heena Syal, head of the Org. have managed a unique canine adoption camp in order to change the status of stray dogs into the domestic ones. In an adoption camp the NGO who came with 10 stray dogs in the morning has found home for seven by the afternoon.
Talking exclusively to the Times of Jammu, Heena Syal has said that in order to make people aware of adopting the stray dogs we have arranged such programme at the different nook of the City. 
The NGO head, who is also acting as animal rights activist and associated with the society of Ms Menaka Gandhi’s PETA said, she was touched by the plight of stray dogs on the roads and it inspired her of providing good living to the neglected creature which if given due care, may turn into more faithful as compared to branded breeds of canine.
“We charge nothing but only a nominal fee of Rs 150 from the customers for the adoption of each dog and the money collected is being used for the vaccination of the others stray dogs, by this practice  Earlier, ‘Karma’ has helped at least 21 stray dogs to find homes through adoption camps” she added.
It is pertinent to mention that, couple of months earlier the administration in Kashmir province has directed the officials to deal with rabid or mad dogs by issuing shooting orders. All SPs, SHOs as well as security forces have also been authorised to initiate action in case of such dogs. The measure has been initiated by the divisional commissioner to ensure the safety of the public in view of the recent incidents in which two persons died due to dog bites in Uri and Pampore.
Dr Samoon, who has been monitoring the steps taken to control the menace of stray dogs, instructed the SMC and town area committees to take immediate measures for the sterilisation of all male stray dogs.
The divisional commissioner, however, clarified that the shooting orders should be valid only for mad or rabid dogs and in no case, should any non-rabid dog be shot.
He directed the director, health services, to ensure the availability of anti-rabies vaccine in all districts and provide the same free of cost to the affected persons. He also directed the deputy commissioners to constitute SPCA in all districts and sign MoUs with the Animal Welfare Board of India to facilitate the receipt of assistance to deal with the menace.
The video conference was also attended by director, health services; director, animal husbandry; regional wildlife warden; representatives from SMC and Society for Prevention of Cruelty against Animals (SPCA); faculty members of veterinary sciences, SKUAST-K; chief medical officers; chief animal husbandry officers; and administrators of the town area committees.
At this time such kind of efforts by “KARMA” is executing the real example of mankind by assembling these strays into pet ones.
