Guwahati: The Assam government is issuing passes to animal welfare organisations and individuals for feeding stray animals during the 21-day nationwide lockdown imposed to contain the spread of novel coronavirus, officials said on Sunday. The lockdown entered the fifth day on Sunday.
“Passes have been issued to animal lovers but they should maintain social distancing and follow other guidelines,” an official said. The animal lovers are undertaking social media campaigns urging people to feed the stray animals who earlier survived on leftovers from restaurants that are now shut due to the lockdown. (PTI)
