Free sterilisation for adopted strays in east Delhi

NEW DELHI: If you are a resident of east Delhi and planning to adopt a stray dog, then the civic agency will help you with free vaccination and

sterilisation

facilities in addition to guiding with the registration process. All you need to do is to apply online or call on helpline numbers.

The announcement was made by EDMC commissioner Vikas Anand during a seminar organised to encourage more people to register their pets and adopt stray

dogs

in association with an NGO (Shubh Group).

Expressing concern over low response for EDMC’s online scheme to register pets and only 200 people availing this facility started in the beginning of September, the mayor, Shyam Sunder Agarwal, appealed to people to register their pets as soon as possible. EDMC standing committee chairman Beer Singh Panwar said efforts will be made to make people aware about the process.
