BBMP settles on microchipping stray dogs
- The BBMP is preparing to implant microchips in nearly 1.4 lakh out of 2.8 lakh stray dogs in the city.
- This would enhance the monitoring capabilities and facilitate crucial information on neutering and vaccination for stray dogs.
- The civic body had proposed inserting microchips or geo-tagged collars several months ago, but now a decision has been made in favour of microchips.
- Microchips can also store data on the dog’s location, potentially facilitating insights into their migration patterns
