A separate workshop should definitely be held in other areas including schools. Along with this, there should be a system of free treatment for animals in every city. So that those who help them do not have to think.
Animal lover Akanksha said that MCD has completely failed in vaccinating and sterilizing dogs. Animal lovers say that dogs have always protected humans, but no shelter has been arranged for them by the municipality. The government has also not started an anti-rabies drive. As a result, such a horrific situation has arisen today.
Animal lovers say that if they are kept in any other place, then all these dogs will hurt each other. If there is any such place in Dehradun, then there should be at least 10 shelter homes for them.

Not only this, politics is also being done fiercely in this matter. Many big leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi have given statements in this matter. Everyone has their own arguments on this matter.
