Feeding spots will be fixed for stray dogs in all wards based on guidelines issued by the Corporation, Health Standing Committee chairperson Jameela Sreedharan has said.
In a special council meeting held on Saturday to discuss the stray dog issue, she said the Animal Birth Control (ABC) monitoring committee would provide the necessary instructions to those who regularly feed dogs. The opening of a kennel park would also be considered.
Ahead of the launch of the mass rabies vaccination drive for pet dogs and stray dogs in the city, Mayor Arya Rajendran said the situation regarding stray dogs in the city was currently at manageable levels, and there was no basis for any fear. Along with the vaccination drive, the civic body's health squad would also check whether restaurants and meat shops are having proper waste management systems. Checks would also be carried out in pet shops to ensure that all the dogs in these facilities were inoculated.
