Kochi to track dog-catching squads after councillors complain

Kochi to track dog-catching squads after councillors complain

A health inspector will handle deployment requests and a register will log every operation, after West Kochi councillors said their divisions were being skipped.

Kochi Corporation will appoint a health inspector to coordinate dog-catching squads and keep a division-wise register.

Squads will follow a 15-day advance schedule, changed only for emergencies, Mayor V.K. Minimol said.

Only 94 dogs had been caught till October 30, against a sterilisation centre capacity of about 150 a month.
