The revised bylaw, to be implemented in a month, aims to stop mistreatment of animals
The Kozhikode Municipal Corporation is working on a bylaw governing pet animals, which the civic body expects to implement within a month. The corporation had earlier drafted a bylaw for pet dog owners, making a licence mandatory. However, with the recent Kerala High Court order making licence mandatory for owners of cattle and pets, the corporation was forced to amend the existing bylaw. “We have revised the bylaw, and the health standing committee has accepted it. It needs to be approved by the finance standing committee before being presented at the council meeting for final approval,” said Dr. V.S. Sreeshma, veterinary surgeon associated with the corporation.More Related News
