MCD mulls setting up shelters for stray dogs; 75% of canines in city sterilised: Officials
New Delhi, Apr 26 (PTI) The MCD is considering to set up stray dog shelters amid an increase in dog bite incidents here, officials said on Wednesday and noted that 75 per cent of the canines have been immunised against rabies and sterilised.
A proposal in this regard is in the nascent stage but several meetings are underway. The aim is to ensure 100 per cent sterilisation of stray dogs in the city, the official of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) asserted.
After being sterilised and immunised against rabies, the canines are released in the same area from where they had been picked up, the official said.
