Ahmedabad to Issue Notices to Dog Owners for Non-Registration
In Ahmedabad, India, dog owners need to register their pets.
The deadline is almost here, June 30th, and the city is reminding people.
So far, about half the dogs are registered.
The city is making new rules.
Some rules will stop dogs from going to parks.
Also, dogs must wear muzzles.
The city wants to make sure everyone is safe, so it is a little more strict with these new rules.
If dogs hurt someone, owners might have to pay.
This helps keep people safe, and it helps the city work towards being rabies-free, as the government hopes for all cities by 2030.
The deadline for dog registration in Ahmedabad is June 30.
17,336 dogs have been registered, out of an estimated 50,000.
AMC will issue notices to owners who fail to register their dogs.
A proposed policy includes a ban on dogs in public places and mandatory muzzling.
The policy defines owner liability, including victim compensation in case of attacks.
