What happened

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has introduced a fascinating tiered-pricing model for stray dog management. While capturing a regular 'aam-aadmi' dog costs the taxpayer a modest Rs 200, the rate magically surges to Rs 8,000 per shift during VVIP movements. It seems the municipal dogs are trained to respect the hierarchy, becoming significantly more 'nuisance-worthy' only when a motorcade is in sight.
