Civic body in two minds over housing of dogs

Call it the horns of a dilemma. The BMC cannot decide whether to keep male and female dogs together or separately in the two proposed shelters for canines in Palghar and Thane. The problem will be highlighted in an affidavit the civic body will submit to the Bombay high court during a hearing scheduled for Friday. The court had ordered the BMC to set up two shelters for the city's strays on the outskirts of Mumbai. But the BMC, while going about the task, has come across several points that it cannot make up its mind about.
