Amritsar and Ludhiana Municipal Corporations Launch Stray Dog Sterilisation Drives
Municipal corporations in Amritsar and Ludhiana have launched large-scale sterilisation drives targeting stray dogs to control their populations and reduce rabies risks. Amritsar aims to sterilise 20,000 dogs over two years, prioritising wards with high stray dog concentrations, while Ludhiana proposes sterilising 30,000 dogs with a Rs 4.95-crore budget covering sterilisation, vaccination, deworming, and post-operative care. Both cities face significant stray dog-related health concerns, including frequent dog-bite cases and rabies exposure.
