Chennai, Sep 17
The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is in the process of identifying land on the city’s outskirts to house up to 500 aggressive, rabid, or suspected rabid dogs, in compliance with a Supreme Court directive issued on August 22.
The court had ordered that such animals must be kept in dedicated facilities rather than being released back onto the streets.
It also directed civic bodies to earmark a single designated feeding point in every ward for strays, where food can be provided under regulated conditions.
While the new facility is still being planned, GCC has released updates on its broader stray dog control and rabies-prevention initiatives.
