Stray dogs are now frequently seen freely wondering in different parts of the metropolis. Some days back I read a news report stating some stray dogs attacked a police officer’s house in some district and killed his goats. Even in our university campus, a huge number of stray dogs are living and causing problems to campus inmates. These feral animals have become a threat to public health and safety.It is learned that there is a ban on killing of stray dogs. The City Corporation often catches the stray dogs and takes away. Perhaps now is the time the City Corporation should take appropriate measures to control stray dogs in the greater interest of public health.
