Panel proposes 10-year roadmap for stray dog issue in Keralam

A panel of experts has outlined a ten‑year plan to address Kerala’s stray‑dog problem. The proposal shifts focus from the traditional sterilise‑and‑release model to encouraging adoption by private owners and institutions, backed by scientific waste‑management practices. It also suggests a monthly subsidy for those caring for adult dogs and promotes institutional adoption programmes through government support and NGOs.
