Gurugram's Stray Dog Population: Sterilization Initiative Launched
29 Nov
Summary
- MCG approved a 2-year animal birth control and vaccination program.
- The project aims to curb the stray dog population and rabies risk.
- An NGO has been awarded a contract for sterilisation and vaccination.
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has initiated a significant 2-year animal birth control and mass vaccination program aimed at managing the city's stray dog population. This project, commencing on November 29, 2025, and concluding on November 28, 2027, is designed to address public safety concerns and reduce the prevalence of rabies.
The extensive campaign will involve the sterilization and anti-rabies vaccination of an estimated 50,000 stray dogs across all four zones of Gurugram. The MCG has awarded the contract for these services to the NGO Maa Baglamukhi Sewa Samiti, Jabalpur, allocating specific per-procedure rates for sterilization and vaccination.
This initiative is vital for controlling uncontrolled breeding, minimizing human-animal conflicts, and ensuring a healthier public environment. The MCG has also emphasized adherence to Supreme Court guidelines for stray dog management, including designated feeding zones, and has directed the implementing agency to coordinate closely with local sanitary officials to commence field operations.
