The Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) has decided to postpone the inspection of the dog licenses in the city after the earlier decision of authorities of initiating inspection from this week. Since more than 70 dog owners are arriving in the corporation every day for license registration, the officials stated that the MCD is providing locals relaxation by giving them sufficient time to register their pet dogs. As stated by the senior veterinary officer of the corporation, Dr DC Tiwari, over 2000 dog licenses have been registered within the last few months which is the highest number of registrations in the corporation ever. “About 70 to 80 people are visiting MCD every day so rather than scaring others by asking them for the dog licenses, we are providing them more time to register their dogs in the corporation,” said Tiwari. However, the officials asserted that when the inspection will be initiated in the next few months, those who do not possess the dog license will have to pay the penalty.
