Mohali: With no sterilisation and failure of concerned authorities to check growing stray dog menace in Mohali there is increase in number of stray dogs in Mohali streets.
Residents said that due to absence of a major dog sterilisation programme, stray dog menace has gripped almost every locality in Mohali.
Despite massive increase in dog bites, Municipal Corporation has failed to take any measure for checking the menace.
Residents added, Stray dogs have occupied every lane and bylane, we cannot venture out in morning or in evenings due to terror of presence of scores of dogs.
Grandparents added, we are unable to let our grandchildren move out of our houses to play who had come for vacations given risk of bites.
Residents demanded a concrete plan or policy should be framed by the authorities in order to check the rising population of canines. “Lack of concrete efforts from the administration side failed to give desired results.
Residents added, MC Mohali is humbly requested to set up dog shelter homes on the lines of cow shelters as a result Mohali graph will definitely go up Swatch Bharat Abiyan for clean cities of India.
The increasing number of stray dogs poses a grave threat to school-going children and others as such stray dogs can also be seen chasing vehicles, which can be risky for commuters on two-wheelers. The district administration and the Municipal Council should take appropriate steps to check this menace of stray dogs.
Our mission should be Clean Mohali, Green Mohali.
But Who Cares???
