Hey Delhiite! Are you a responsible dog parent?
Hindustan TimesWith effect from this month, the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation has increased the registration fee for pet dogs from ₹200 to ₹1,000. This charge applicable in the satellite city has led to pet parents in Delhi and other NCR cities wonder whether it’s possible to act like a responsible pet parent! “The owners must also not abandon their pet dog or stray in public places, or allow aggressive dogs to be roaming freely in public places without a muzzle,” adds the MCD official. Negligence will result in a fine of ₹500 from Department of Environment Management Services.” Although the MCD and civic bodies in the satellite cities of Delhi have made the registration of pet dogs mandatory, several Delhiites still feel reluctant when it comes to the process. The purpose of the exercise is to prepare a database of pet dog owners, control illegal practices like unregistered dog breeding, and monitor pets’ vaccination schedules.
