MCD to undertake a dog census
The civic body is not aware of the canine population as the last survey of community dogs was carried out in 2009. Fourteen years ago, their number was found to be 560,000. Since then, the population is expected to have exponentially increased.
A senior official from the MCD’s veterinary department said, “We are preparing the initial bid documents to invite requests for proposals to undertake a dog census in the city. By the end of this year, we plan to have a better view of the population and distribution across the city’s 12 wards.”
