Coimbatore to have another ABC centre

Even as residents of many localities in the district complain about the increasing menace of street dogs, People for Animals, Unit II, with the support of Animal Welfare Board of India and district administration had initiated the process of opening a new Animal Birth Control (ABC) centre in the district.

Managing trustee of PFA Unit II, Kalpana Vasudevan said, “Coimbatore district had only one centre which is inadequate. More ABC centres were required, at least one in each zone of the district, to successfully carry out the programme. According to the Corporation officials, the process of identifying land for the new centre is under way.
