Perambalur intensifies stray dog sterilisation, anti-rabies vaccination drive
The Perambalur district administration is expanding its animal birth control and anti-rabies vaccination program for stray dogs. Officials have urged pet owners to ensure their animals are also vaccinated to prevent disease transmission.
Why it matters
Public health initiatives targeting stray animal populations are critical for rabies control and community safety in rural and semi-urban areas.
The Perambalur district administration has stepped up efforts to control the number of stray dogs and prevent the spread of rabies by implementing an Animal Birth Control programme across the district.
Collector Sharanya Ari said an animal birth control centre has been functioning at the Keelapuliyur Veterinary Dispensary under the Veppur Panchayat since February. In addition, the programme is being carried out at the Perambalur Veterinary Hospital.
Stray dogs are sterilised every week and anti-rabies vaccine administered. So far, 132 stray dogs have undergone sterilisation surgeries.
