Gorakhpur civic body floats fourth tender for stray dog microchipping

Gorakhpur is a city in India with many dogs that live on the streets.

The city wants to take better care of these dogs.

It plans to put a tiny chip under each dog's skin.

The chip has a special number that is different for every dog.

This number is connected to a computer system that keeps records.

The records show if a dog has been vaccinated or sterilized.

They also show if a dog has been sick or acts aggressively.

This helps the city avoid giving the same dog the same treatment twice.

It also helps find places where more dog bites happen.

The city has asked companies to do this job four times, but so far no company has agreed.
