Previously, Municipal Corporation Mohali has floated a tender and invited applications from private companies and Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) for carrying out sterilization of the dogs in April. This is done to stop the stray dog menace. But now after one month Mohali Municipal Corporation has decided to hire an Udgir-based NGO for the sterilisation of stray dogs. To start this process MC had earlier announced to set up another operation theater to speed up this process of sterilisation drive. To initiate this process MC has taken a step and requested the Mohali Deputy Commissioner for the counting of stray dogs.

Finally, the Mohali Municipal Corporation has decided to hire an Udgir-based NGO for the sterilization of stray dogs and another operation theater has been also decided for this process. The cost for the sterilisation is also decided and MC has taken decision to pay them for the sterilisation of dogs Rs 1,020 for a dog and Rs 1,050 for a bitch. The MC is unaware about the number of stray dogs in the city and after getting the information sterilisation of dogs will be started soon.

To control the growing menace of stray dogs in the city MC has taken this decision. The problem is severe in many localities including Phase 2, Phase 3B2, Phase 11, Phase 7, Sector 70 and Phase 4.
