Mumbai Introduces QR-Enabled Collars to Track Stray Dogs' Vaccination and Sterilisation
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has introduced QR code-enabled reflective collars for stray dogs to digitally track their sterilisation, rabies vaccination, and health records. This initiative, in collaboration with the Ridlan AI Foundation, aims to improve identification and monitoring of community dogs across Mumbai, supporting the city's goal to become rabies-free by 2030. The program follows Supreme Court directives to enhance animal birth control and anti-rabies efforts through a centralized digital registry.
