BMC to Enforce Pet Ownership Rules After Citizen Complaints

The city of Bhubaneswar is going to start enforcing new rules about owning pets, like dogs.

This is because people have been complaining about problems like dog poop in public areas, loud barking, and dogs acting aggressively.

The new rules, which were created in 2022, will require pet owners to register their dogs, and provide proof of vaccinations and sterilization.

If owners don't follow the rules, they could be fined.

The city is also building dog parks to help improve the situation.

The BMC is working with the government to finalize the details, and the rules should be in place soon.
