The Goa government is moving forward with measures to manage stray dog populations in accordance with directives from the Supreme Court. A meeting led by the chief secretary focused on identifying stray dog hotspots and appointing nodal officers to oversee compliance. The Director of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services, Nitin Naik, stated that the government will compile existing measures and future plans for stray dog management, with an affidavit due by the end of July or early August. Authorities will pinpoint areas with high stray dog populations and frequent dog-bite incidents, expanding the list of sensitive public locations to include markets, beaches, and religious places. The government has also developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) for handling dog-bite incidents, which have been distributed to various departments to ensure a coordinated response. Discussions on long-term strategies will continue in future meetings as the state prepares a comprehensive plan to address the Supreme Court's directives.
