In a country where stray dog debates often spiral into fights between residents and animal lovers, one township in Ghaziabad has turned Ward No. 100 of the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation into what officials say is the first civic ward across Uttar Pradesh’s 17 municipal corporations to achieve 100% sterilisation of community dogs, TOI reports.
The ward, largely made up of Shipra Sun City in Indirapuram, did not get there overnight. Residents say the journey involved months of surveys, heated discussions, mistrust, rescue teams, feeders, RWAs, NGOs, dog catchers — and even dogs clever enough to repeatedly escape sterilisation teams.
