Amid growing concerns over the stray dog menace, the District Development Committee (DDC) has directed the authorities to make two Animal Birth Control (ABC) centres at Kanichukulangara and Alappuzha operational in a week.
P.P. Chitharanjan, MLA, who raised the issue at the DDC meeting on Saturday, rapped the officials for their lackadaisical attitude in curbing the menace. U. Prathibha, MLA, also brought the issue to the notice of the authorities.
