Taking a serious note of the threat posed by canines to public life, the authorities have expedited steps to bring the proliferation of stray dogs under control.
Addressing a meeting of local body representatives in this regard recently, District Collector V. Vigneswari said the objective was to put an end to stray dog menace by next March. “After vaccinating and sterilizing all stray dogs, they will be given special training to live in harmony with humans. At the same time, more Animal Birth Control centres will be opened so as to carry out at least 250 sterilization surgeries on a daily basis,” she said.
She added that stray dogs should not be treated with hostility, but be trained to live in harmony with society.
