Handfuls of blue dogs are turning heads on the streets of Mumbai, local animal protection officers report.
Their change in appearance has been linked to the pollution of a local river where the animals swim and look for food.
Industrial waste is being pumped into the Kasadi River in Navi Mumbai, next to the Maharashtra state capital in Western India, and the water has long been deemed unfit for human consumption.
Animal protection officers are now urging local officials to act on companies dumping waste in the river after an increase in reports of blue dogs.
‘It was shocking to see how the dog’s white fur had turned completely blue,’ animal protection officer Arati Chauhan said.
We have spotted almost five such dogs here and have asked the pollution control board to act against such industries.’
Officials have been made aware of the problem and a water quality test has since been carried out in the area, local news reports.
Studies quoted in local newspapers have also showed that the overall pollution levels in the area had been raised by 13 times the ‘safe limit’.
Yogesh Pagade, a local fisherman in the area said: ‘After numerous complaints to MPCB over the years, only the stench at Kasadi has reduced. However, the pollution levels continue to be extremely high.’
A complaint has now been registered with the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) saying that animals in the area are suffering as a result of the waste.
MPCB officials have since replied saying they are investigating.
A spokesman said: ‘Allowing the discharge of dye into any water body is illegal. We will take action against the polluters as they are destroying the environment. We have directed our sub-regional officer to investigate.’
