(Tashi Tobgyal)The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has allocated a budget of Rs 10 crore for the construction of a dog shelter in each of its 12 zones.
MCD Standing Committee chairperson Satya Sharma, while presenting the Revised Budget Estimates for 2025-26 and Budget Estimates for 2026-27 on Wednesday, said: “This will ensure that stray dogs receive safe shelter, treatment, and care.”Kennels will also be built at five new Animal Birth Control (ABC) centres to facilitate sterilisation and anti-rabies vaccination of the animals, officials said, adding that a mass anti-rabies vaccination campaign will also be conducted.
The Supreme Court on July 28 last year had taken suo motu cognisance of the stray dog menace following a news report on the issue, and directed authorities to take stringent actions.
