Ludhiana Municipal Corporation's pet registration drive has only managed to register 2,444 pets in 4 years. Renewal of licenses is also low with only 464 renewals. Lack of strict action against defaulters is a major issue.
A tragic incident occurred in Vikarabad where a 4-month-old infant was mauled to death by a stray dog. The parents, both laborers, had left the child unattended while they were at work. This incident highlights the dangers posed by stray dogs in the area and the need for responsible pet ownership and safety measures for children.
