HYDERABAD: The GHMC has decided to spend Rs 1,500 on every stray dog for vaccination and birth control operations. The corporation estimates that the city has five lakh strays, and will have to spend Rs 750 crore for the purpose.
After implementing a pilot project pertaining to Animal Birth Control (ABC) & Anti Rabies Vaccination (ARV) programmes in five wards, the GHMC has decided to extend it citywide. Following the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) and Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules 2001, the civic body has shortlisted five animal welfare organisations (AWOs) to sterilise about the strays over a period of one year.
