POKHARA: SEPT. 23 – Currently, the census is in full swing in the country. Various details are being filled from door to door. In this description, the details of animals are filled‚ but except the dogs.

A dog owner has been urged to register a dog in Pokhara. The Pokhara Metropolitan City has stated that data is being collected in the wards to update the number and details of dogs kept in the Metropolitan.

The office of Ward No. 8 has issued notice to come to the ward on Tuesday to register the dog. “As there will be a registration of dogs and a rabies vaccination camp in the ward, all dog owners in the ward are requested to register,” the notice said. The Metropolitan has stated that the program will start from Pokhara-8.

A photocopy of the dog owner’s citizenship is mandatory to register the dog. Similarly, if you have been infected with rabies before, you will have to pay Rs 100 for vaccination card and registration fee. Pokhara has launched a vasectomy campaign to control community dogs. So far, 70 percent of community dogs have been vasectomy.

According to Himalayan Animal Rescue Trust (HART) Nepal, there are about 4,000 community dogs in Pokhara. ‘We work on street community dogs. For us, it is always like a rabies day, ‘said operator Khageshwor Bhattarai. Other government agencies have focused on domestic dogs.

There are only about 2,500 community dogs in the major urban areas of Pokhara, while complete statistics have not been collected in other wards. “If you go to a road, there are dogs.” But there are not many children. The number has decreased, ‘he said. The left ear has a U-shaped incision as a sign of a neutered dog.

This year, the program is also being held in Chitwan. Bhattarai informed that after the dogs started attacking the deer in the park, Hart started increasing the surveillance on such dogs. Although Pokhara has not as big a problem as it used to be, the problem of street community dogs is still there.
