Over 90,000 stray dogs in Mumbai but only 8 shelters for them, say BMC officials

Mumbai has over 90,000 stray dogs but only eight shelters. The Supreme Court ordered relocation of sterilized and vaccinated dogs to shelters. This requires significant expansion of shelter capacity. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has been running an animal birth control program since 2014. The city needs more facilities to manage the stray dog population effectively.
