VASCO: In a meeting convened by the Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) on the stray dog menace, on Friday, it was decided to sterilise about 500 stray dogs in a month in Vasco and to set up dedicated feeding stations in all wards of the council.
The meeting was attended by Vasco MLA Krishna Salkar, MMC chairperson Leo Rodrigues, officials from the veterinary services, representatives of PFA and Mission Rabies, and Goacan coordinator Roland Martins.
