The Hamirpur Municipal Corporation has taken decisive steps to address the growing concern of pets defecating in public spaces. Amid increasing complaints, Commissioner Rakesh Sharma announced a ban on pet owners allowing their dogs to use the streets as their toilet.

With citizens expressing frustration over filthy sidewalks, this initiative aims to clean up the streets. The Corporation is not stopping there; it is also making pet dog registration compulsory for all owners. Those failing to comply will face potential penalties, highlighted Sharma.

In response to recent surges in dog attacks, the Corporation will also deploy a campaign to sterilize stray dogs in the city, aiming to control their population more effectively. Signboards will soon be seen across Hamirpur, urging residents to contribute to a safer and cleaner city.
