Mohali Faces Escalating Dog Bites Amidst Lack of Stray Animal Shelter
Mohali is grappling with a severe dog-bite crisis, averaging 53 cases daily in 2024, with over 11,000 incidents recorded this year alone. Despite judicial directives and a rapidly increasing stray dog population, now estimated at 20,000, the district lacks a dedicated dog shelter. While sterilization efforts are ongoing, they are insufficient to curb the menace. Municipal officials acknowledge the need for a shelter and are reportedly planning to draft a proposal.
