Noida Rolls Out RWA-Led Surveys, Shelters and Helpline for Stray-Dog Management

The rollout follows the Supreme Court’s revised directive to sterilise, vaccinate, then return community dogs, with exceptions for aggressive or rabid animals.

The authority has also directed the apartment owners’ associations (AOAs), and residents welfare associations (RWAs) to identify the stray dogs in their respective areas for their sterilisation and vaccination. (Sunil Ghosh/HT Photo)

Overview

  • After a high-level meeting chaired by CEO Lokesh M, the Authority directed RWAs and AOAs to submit photographic reports identifying unsterilised dogs in their sectors and societies.
  • Selected NGOs will run a baseline survey across Noida and adjoining villages to classify dogs by sterilisation status, behaviour and health indicators, including suspected rabies.
  • Two dedicated shelters for biting, aggressive or rabid dogs are being established under the Health Department, with temporary housing in animal hospitals or existing shelters until they become operational.
  • Anti-rabies vaccination drives will continue through two engaged NGOs with documentation, and sterilised dogs will be identified by a V-shaped notch on the ear.
  • A toll-free complaint line will be introduced soon, residents can in the interim use 0120-2425025, and the Authority will map and designate regulated feeding points after surveying current sites.
