Stray dog menace: MCC clarifies

Sir,

Apropos the letter titled “Eradicate stray dog menace” (SOM dated 29.11.2017), the MCC staff have visited the spot at Subhashnagar on 9.12.2017 and captured the unsterilised dogs. Majority of the dogs found were sterilised.

As per the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules 2001, we are not supposed to kill or relocate the stray dogs. MCC has adopted ABC programme which is existing throughout the country to control dog menace.
