Campaign to deal with stray animals in Mohali

A campaign will be launched in Mohali to deal with the problem of stray cattle and dogs. At a meeting with the Municipal Corporation and Greater Mohali Area Development Authority officials, Deputy Commissioner Tejinderpal Singh Sidhu said a large number of accidents were being caused due to stray cattle.

Also, it was suggested that owners of the stray cattle should be penalised. He added the first segment of the cow ranch at Industrial Area Phase One would be completed soon.

The cow ranch is being constructed in two segments and will have a capacity of around 400 cattle once it is completed.

Meanwhile, Municipal Corporation Joint Commissioner Dilraj Singh said a separate dog pound would be constructed for stray dogs and a campaign for their sterilization would begin soon.
