Stray Dogs Being Microchipped To Avoid Vaccine Duplication: BBMP Tells Karnataka HC, Court Declines To Stay Chip Implant Proposal

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court on Monday refused to stay the Request for Proposal floated by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike for procuring and implanting microchip readers in the bodies of stray dogs in the city. Counsel for the corporation submitted that “Microchipping of stray dogs in Bengaluru is being done so that vaccination is not duplicated. Therefore as a pilot project based on internationally available guidelines, we started microchipping and did it for about 20,000 dogs and it has proved effective.” He added “This is to stop duplication of vaccination and more effective penetration of vaccination. Relist on March 20.” The plea seeks to quash the RFP dates 29.02.2024 and direct the Corporation to follow the animal birth control rules, 2023 while issuing tender notifications and immediately stay the pilot project of microchipping of street dogs being carried out in Bangalore.
