MCD To Start Its Own Dog Sterilisation Unit

To check the everincreasing stray canine popu- lation in Delhi, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is planning to open its own dog sterilisation centre.
"The increasing number of stray dogs on Delhi roads is a perennial problem. We are now planning a centre which will be run by our vet- erinary department," Municipal Commissioner K S Mehra said.
The civic body has iden- tified 30 acres of MCD land in Mukundpur in north- west Delhi for the centre, which, it hopes will come up before the Games..
Officials said the stray dog population in the city has been increasing despite sterilisation measures. A dog census carried out by NGO Wildlife SOS on behalf of MCD last year had put the number of street dogs in the city at 2.62 lakh and the den- sity of stray dogs at nearly five per km.
