Stray dogs make MC bite the dust

One is the usual "lack of funds" story that afflicts most government departments, and the other is the overactive lobby of animal rights activists that refuses to let MC workers and officials do their job of sterilizing street dogs. "No funds have been received to date for the sterilization of stray dogs in the city, as the financial committee has still not sanctioned the funds. Moreover, the Animal Welfare Board of the Government of India has still not approved of the method of sterilization," said Amarjeet Singh Sekhon, zonal commissioner, Zone C, MC Ludhiana, who handles the project. All the time while there was an increase in dog bite cases around the city, the MC kept claiming that it has a provision of rupees two crore for the dog sterilization project. But when the present case came to light, the real state of affairs at MC also started coming out in the open. When ToI questioned officials on this case, there was an uncomfortable silence on the other side. The answer came out in small, hesitant dozes after a good 10 minutes " the gist being that they do have a provision for sterilization projects, but no funds whatsoever. Moreover, officials also stated that there had been no meeting over the project for the past one year.
