Street Dog Catching

The Silvassa Municipal Council (SMC) is committed to managing the stray dog population through a humane and systematic approach. In line with the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001, the SMC undertakes the castration, spaying, and immunization of stray dogs within its jurisdiction. These operations are conducted under the guidelines of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, ensuring that all procedures are carried out ethically and in compliance with national standards.

Residents can report issues related to stray dogs through the official Silvassa Municipal Council website or the Dadra and Nagar Haveli district portal. The SMC has issued multiple tenders for the 2025–26 period, inviting qualified agencies to manage the capture, sterilization, and vaccination of stray dogs. These tenders are part of the council's ongoing efforts to address the stray dog situation effectively and humanely.

For immediate concerns or to report stray dog-related issues, residents are encouraged to visit the official Silvassa Municipal Council website or contact the local municipal office directly. The SMC is dedicated to ensuring public safety and animal welfare through its comprehensive stray dog management program.
