The
Hans India: Hyderabad: Thursday, 26 November 2015.
In response
to an RTI, it was revealed that the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation
(GHMC) spent Rs 25 crore to vaccinate 44,100 dogs in the city.
“While a dose
of vaccine costs Rs 40, spending Rs 5,000 on each dog is just too much,” said
Sambi Reddy, Lok Satta GHMC General Secretary.
“In spite of
vaccination drive taken up there are hundreds of stray dogs in Kukatpally and
LB Nagar,” said Ramu of Lok Satta Party.
There are
many complaints from residents in Kukatpally and other areas of the city about
dog menace and howling during night-time.
Sreelatha, a
resident of LB Nagar said that it is impossible to sleep at nights as a pack of
stray dogs howl for hours at night.
From 2009-15
the GHMC has spent Rs 39.93 crore for vaccination of dogs.
