Stray Dog Census Begins in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, there are many stray dogs, and the city doesn't know exactly how many.
The local government is now doing a count to find out.
They hope to finish this count by the end of December.
Right now, they are trying to control the number of stray dogs by a process called sterilization, which stops them from having puppies.
The count will help them make better plans to deal with the stray dogs.
The problem has been going on for a long time, and the Supreme Court has told the government to do something about it.
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is conducting a census of stray dogs due to the growing population.
The census is expected to be completed by the end of December.
