A shortage of veterinarians has been reported at animal hospitals in Indianagar, affecting timely treatment for livestock. Multiple centers, including Menasagere, Boppasamudra, Torebommanahalli, and Bidarahosahalli, lack permanent vets. One vet is currently managing the hospitals and centers across Indianagar, Chandupura, S.I. Hagalahalli, Gurudevarahalli, Doddarasinakere, K. Shettahalli, and Madarahalli. Farmers are concerned as the single vet must handle everything from treating sick cattle to performing castration and post-mortem examinations for deceased animals across 12 centers monthly.
