Raksha project fails to curb dog menace in Kerala
KOZHIKODE: The Raksha project launched by the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University in Wayanad to control the stray dog menace through the Animal Birth Control Project has failed to achieve its objective due to the shortage of experts and lack of interest shown by the local administrative bodies. It was launched in 2015 and the expert team with a mobile surgery unit had conducted two rounds of dog sterilisation camps on the request of the Kozhikode corporation. Dr Shyam Venugopal, former head of the Raksha project, told DC that his team was planning to impart training to veterinarians under local administrative bodies on the sterilisation techniques. But none of the local administrative bodies evinced interest other than Kozhikode corporation,” he said.
