Muktsar village 1st in state to start sterilisation of dogs

Bura Gujjar village in Muktsar district has become the first village in the state to implement Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme. To control the spurt in population of stray dogs and spike in dog bite incidents, the village panchayat has passed a resolution to sterilise stray dogs.

Following this, the panchayats of four other villages, Udekaran, Sangu Dhaun, Lambi Dhabh and Rahurianwali, have also passed the resolution.

The contract to sterilise stray dogs has been given to the Compassion for Animal Welfare Association (CAWA). Vini Mahajan, Chief Secretary, Punjab, applauded the village on implementing the programme.
