This is also in line with the Government of India’s animal birth control programme,” said Shahid.Vijaykumar Fulsoundar, veterinary doctor of Blue Cross Society working for AMC, said that sterilisation was the only answer to bring the population of stray dogs under control. “The civic body needs to work on improving the infrastructure for better implementation of the ABC programme which will curtail the stray dog menace.”Last week, Noor-e-Mujassam Pinjari (10), a resident of Barudgar Nala, died while undergoing treatment for dog bite.
