Overview

• Rajasthan directed all urban local bodies to implement ABC Rules 2023, with ward-level feeding points, humane capture, tagging, CCTV at centres, and detailed logs.
• The state’s order bans tongs, wires and nooses for catching dogs, requires trained teams with welfare representatives, and mandates release to the original locality after treatment.
• Recognised groups will be paid Rs 200 per dog for capture and transport and Rs 1,450 for sterilisation, food and post‑operative care, with compliance reports due in 30 days.
• Delhi plans a large-scale campaign modelled on Lucknow’s programme, upgrading 24 of 78 government veterinary hospitals into vaccination centres and drafting a uniform SOP.
• Bhopal doubled daily sterilisations to about 60 across three ABC centres, though officials have yet to finalise a map of designated feeding points for public spaces.
