@ICICIBank_Care@ICICIBank@ICICI_Direct Application No. US0003254545 is on Hold and no one is responding my calls and not telling the reason of hold. Seems, ICICI RM are now unprofessional. They don't care of their customers now. Pathetic. Do I share my RM details?
On the ground, India’s frontline defence against rabies is not paperwork. It’s compassionate citizens, CSR-supported veterinary hospitals, and nonprofit organisations running Anti-Rabies Vaccination (ARV) drives relentlessly, every single day. #straydogs#ngo
#Dogs Make our lives whole. Yet in **our own country**—the land of *Sanatan Dharma*, the land once known as *Sone Ki Chidiya*, the land we proudly call *Sare Jahan Se Achcha Hindustan Hamara*—that very nation is **failing in compassion** today.
We have labelled our poor, innocent dogs as a “menace.”
But the truth is clear:
* The fault lies with the **government**.
* The fault lies with the **municipal corporations**.
* The fault lies with the **animal welfare boards**.
* The fault lies with the **few NGOs** chasing their own agendas.
Yet the **punishment** is given to our **community dogs**, who have done absolutely nothing wrong.
It is high time we rise.
It is high time we **stand together**.
No more endless phone calls.
No more letters that get ignored.
No more waiting for someone else to act.
Change will only come when we **stand right in front of our municipal corporations** and demand—with unity and courage—that they finally do their jobs.
And if there is a shelter in your city that is not functioning properly, I urge you:
**Go directly to the DCP of your area. File a complaint. Request an immediate inspection with a police team.**
Let no one misuse the name of “animal welfare” ever again.
Because if we don’t act now…
If we don’t work as **one team**…
If we don’t stop the bias, the politics, the partiality…
Then remember this truth:
**If today it’s my dog, tomorrow it will be yours.
If it’s yours today, it will be someone else’s day after tomorrow.**
This cycle will never stop unless *we* stop it.
Together.
With courage.
With love.
With unwavering compassion.

**Failures of the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) — A Citizen’s Brief**
For decades, the **Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI)**—the apex body entrusted with protecting animals—has repeatedly failed in its core duties. The result has been **nationwide suffering of animals**, unregulated commercial breeding, corruption, and non-implementation of laws meant to safeguard animal lives.
---
### **1. Zero Enforcement & Regulatory Collapse**
Despite clear mandates under the PCA Act and ABC Rules, AWBI has failed to:
* Ensure enforcement of animal welfare laws by state authorities.
* Push municipalities and state governments to implement sterilization, vaccination, and cruelty-prevention programs.
* Act on Supreme Court directives, including setting up State Boards and SPCAs.
The Supreme Court gave AWBI the role of watchdog; instead, it became a **silent spectator**.
---
### **2. Outdated Laws Left Unamended**
AWBI has not effectively used its authority to:
* Recommend amendments to the 60-year-old Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
* Push for stronger penalties, despite rising cases of brutality against pets, strays, and working animals.
While citizens have demanded reforms for years, AWBI has offered excuses—not action.
---
### **3. Non-Functional State Boards & SPCAs**
Even after court orders:
* Many **State Animal Welfare Boards** remain non-functional.
* Numerous districts have **no SPCA** at all, blocking cruelty cases from being handled properly.
* AWBI has taken **no strong steps** to ensure states comply.
This vacuum enables cruelty to flourish unchecked.
---
### **4. Funding Mismanagement**
A Government-linked report from 1999 exposed:
* **Mismanagement of funds** by AWBI.
* Funds disbursed without proper audits.
* Mismatched accounts from NGOs receiving grants.
To this day, citizens struggle to track how AWBI allocates or uses its budget.
---
### **5. Total Failure to Regulate Puppy Mills, Pet Shops & Breeders**
AWBI and SAWBs have:
* Failed to register even **one** pet shop or breeder in several states.
* Ignored the booming illegal pet trade.
* Allowed puppy mills to operate in horrific, abusive conditions.
This is one of AWBI’s **most glaring failures**, directly enabling cruelty on a mass scale.
---
### **6. Inaction, Indifference & No Accountability**
AWBI has repeatedly failed to:
* Act against municipal bodies violating ABC Rules.
* Intervene when dogs are illegally relocated, poisoned, or culled.
* Ensure punishment for offenders.
Instead of being a guardian, AWBI has often been a **bystander**.
---
## **Why Citizens Must Unite**
The time has come for:
* **Collective public pressure**
* **Legal actions in higher courts**
* **RTIs**, PILs, and documentation of systemic non-compliance
AWBI has failed because it has not been held accountable.
A united citizen movement—backed by facts, laws, and judicial precedents—can force transparency and reforms. #dogsofindia #straydogs
