The residents of Islamabad sought Prime Minister Office’s directives to eliminate the growing population of stray dogs and wild boars.
According to a local media report, 64 complaints had been registered with the recently-launched Pakistan Citizens Portal of the PM Office against stray dogs and wild boars.
Moreover, the federal government has forwarded the complaints to the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI) for early resolution.
It is an initiative of the government to allow citizens to register complaints regarding their basic problems.
It was reported that CDA and MCI officials said that this was not an issue around a decade ago as at that time locals and foreigners used to hunt them down. But later the capital administration imposed a ban on the use of weapons because of security issues.
In addition to that, the complaints received from the PM Office have been forwarded to the concerned directorates for action.
Overall, more than 600 complaints had been referred to the CDA/MCI from the Citizen Portal and a majority of them were related to streetlights, most of which are currently non-functional in the city.
