MUMBAI: The BMC will buy four special dog vans to catch stray dogs in the city. It will spend Rs 1 crore to purchase the four vans.
BMC officials said that the BMC’s health department currently catches stray dogs and gets them sterilised with the help of NGOs and animal welfare organizations.
“The existing vans have become old. These vans will be decommissioned. So, four new dog vans will be bought. Every day, hundreds of people are bitten by stray dogs. In some parts of the city, stray dogs are a real menace. The new vans will help in catching and sterilising the dogs,” an official said.
