Residents of a housing complex have lodged multiple police complaints after a pet dog repeatedly defecated in the common area, leading to a heated dispute over car parking.
A pet dog belonging to a resident has been repeatedly seen defecating in the shared corridor of a multi‑storey housing complex, prompting several neighbours to approach the local police. The waste left in the common area has raised hygiene concerns among the occupants, who allege that the owner has not taken corrective action despite repeated requests.
Police officials visited the site after receiving the complaints and recorded statements from multiple residents. They noted that the issue has persisted for weeks, with the dog’s owner allegedly ignoring notices posted by the building’s management committee.
The situation escalated when a separate disagreement over allotted car parking spaces erupted between the same parties. Residents claim that the parking row intensified frustrations, as the affected families felt targeted after the pet‑related complaints.
Authorities have warned that continued non‑compliance could result in fines under local municipal regulations, and they have urged the building committee to mediate a resolution that addresses both the sanitation and parking concerns.
