Gurugram Dog Vaccinations Proceed Without Mandatory Approval
31 Mar
Summary
- Dog vaccination agency lacks mandatory project recognition.
- Agency operating in violation of Animal Birth Control Rules.
- MCG directed agency to secure recognition within six months.
A firm contracted by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) for stray dog vaccination and sterilization is allegedly operating without the required project recognition from the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI). This lack of certification is a violation of the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, according to AWBI members. Such recognition is crucial to ensure proper procedures and adequate infrastructure for animal welfare during these operations.
Maa Baglamukhi, awarded the tender in November last year, began its work on January 28 without this mandatory project-level approval. MCG officials acknowledged the situation and have instructed the agency to secure the necessary recognition within a six-month window. If this is not achieved, the agency faces blacklisting. The firm has admitted to operating without the recognition, stating they applied in February and are awaiting approval.
