The ward authorities have been urged to arrange necessary facilities, with each ward assigning two representatives to assist the veterinary team. Respective ward chairman will sign registration cards for renewals, stated the circular.
However, a pressing concern emerged from recent meetings about many pet owners not using the tag properly. To address this, MMC will issue new tags free of charge this year, while pet owners who have misplaced theirs can purchase replacements from the office on cash payment.
Those needing new registration cards or replacements for lost ones are directed to collect the same from its office on or before September 25.
