Massive Animal Population Control and Antirabies Campaign Arranged in Prayagraj

In an effort to combat the growing issue of stray dogs and related dog bite cases, Sangam city (Prayagraj) has initiated its largest-ever Animal Birth Control (ABC) and Anti-Rabies Vaccination (ARV) drive. A new Animal Birth Control Centre has been established in the Rasulabad area, equipped with modern facilities to carry out sterilization and vaccination operations.

The centre, costing ₹1.85 crore, is part of the proactive measures by the Prayagraj Municipal Corporation (PMC) to address the increasing problem of stray dogs. The drive aims to reduce the stray dog population and curb the incidence of dog bites, which reportedly number over 700 cases daily within Prayagraj city limits.

The centre and campaign emphasize maintaining a low mortality rate below 0.5% during surgeries, with periodic evaluations after every 500 sterilizations. The implementing agency will be responsible for providing adequate post-operative care.

The PMC's ABC-ARV campaign aims to cover 75% of the estimated 1.13 lakh stray dogs in the next six years. The goal of the drive is to target 75% of the stray dog population in Sangam city. All surgeries and procedures will adhere to standards prescribed by the Animal Welfare Board of India.

The selected agency or NGO will deploy at least two qualified veterinary doctors, four paravets, four dog catchers, and drivers for designated dog vans. The new centres include modern amenities such as an operation theatre, pet salon, kennels, community kitchen, park, pet shop, office, preparation room, dormitory, and pantry.

The Animal Birth Control Centre in Rasulabad is capable of sterilising up to 32 animals per day, and a second centre in the same area is scheduled to begin operations in August. Annually, around 18,000 surgeries will need to be performed within PMC limits. As of now, 4,540 dogs have been sterilised and vaccinated in Prayagraj, according to municipal data.

Residents in high-end colonies and densely populated localities in Sangam city have expressed concern over the stray dog issue, which has become a daily concern for many. The drive is a significant step towards improving public safety and animal welfare in the city.
