Mandatory Registration Takes Effect

Since the registration procedure became mandatory in 2022, 5,925 pets have registered with the local government. Singh also mentioned the Rs 5,000 charge for failing to register a pet. A policy that stated a pet owner may not retain more than four dogs was introduced by GMC last year. Also, it stated that a private home measuring 182 square metres may accommodate up to two dogs and 273 square metres, up to four dogs.
