The Department of Local Self Government has directed all municipal corporations, councils, and municipalities to ensure strict compliance with the Stray Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023.

Under the new guidelines, designated feeding spots for stray dogs will be identified in every ward and locality. Civic bodies have been instructed to coordinate with resident welfare associations and animal welfare organisations to determine these spots. Even in cases of rabies, food and water must be provided at these feeding points.
