The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) is making strides in animal welfare with plans to establish three pet crematoriums in the city by next month. These facilities will utilize CNG-based systems to ensure environmentally responsible disposal of animal carcasses.
These crematoriums are slated to be operational in the Kopri, Kalwa-Manishanagar, and Majiwada areas. TMC's initiative aligns with modern environmental standards and addresses the needs of pet owners in Thane.
In addition to the crematoriums, TMC will launch a well-equipped mobile veterinary clinic along with an ambulance service designed for pets and small animals. This is a significant move given Thane's pet population, which primarily includes dogs and cats, estimated at 15,000.
