Kochi Corporation mulls mobile ABC units to ensure balanced stray dog control

Kochi municipal authorities are evaluating the use of mobile Animal Birth Control (ABC) units to achieve more equitable stray‑dog sterilisation across the city. Officials say the move responds to complaints from West Kochi councillors who allege bias in the selection of dogs taken to the permanent ABC centre in Brahmapuram. The mobile units aim to broaden outreach and address the perceived discrimination.
