KANNUR: The District Planning Committee has decided to open seven more Animal Birth Control (ABC) centres for sterilisation of stray dogs.
The decision came in the wake of stray dogs mauling to death an 11-year-old boy at Muzhappilangad recently and the growing dog menace in the district.
An ABC centre is currently functional at Padiyoor in Padiyoor-Kalliad panchayat.
