As stray dog menace continues to rise in Kollam with the district reporting multiple incidents in the last seven days, the failure in implementing Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme has once again come to the fore.

Apart from the attack on school students on Monday, canine menace in Kollam city has seen a sudden surge of late as most roads are infested with strays.
