Delhi Launches Dog-Management Plan With MCD Targeting 1,000 Court-Mandated Feeding Zones

UNDP-backed microchipping of 10 lakh dogs will underpin a two-year drive to improve tracking for rabies control.

Overview

  • Delhi announced mandatory registration for pet shops and breeding centres, digital vaccination records, and microchipping of 10 lakh dogs over two years.
  • The Municipal Corporation of Delhi ordered each ward to mark three to four feeding points and submit an action report within a week, aligning sites away from high-footfall areas.
  • Uttar Pradesh directed local bodies to set up dedicated feeding points with notice boards and to act against street feeding at undesignated places, with locations chosen to reduce risk to children and seniors.
  • Pune began designating feeding spots and is registering volunteer feeders via a civic Google form to coordinate sterilisation and vaccination, with feeding barred on roads, gardens, and building entrances.
  • The Supreme Court’s revised order requires sterilise‑vaccinate‑return for non‑aggressive strays and prohibits public feeding except at designated areas.
