Gurugram Reinstates Mandatory Pet Dog Registration Amid Rising Bite Incidents
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has reinstated mandatory registration for all pet dogs amid rising dog bite incidents and public safety concerns. Owners must register their pets via the Saral Haryana portal or citizen centres, providing identity proof, pet photographs, and vaccination certificates. Specific breeds deemed dangerous must be muzzled and leashed in public. Despite previous similar orders and enforcement efforts, compliance remains low, prompting renewed directives and warnings of legal action under Haryana municipal laws.
