Manali: The tourist town of Manali here is set to host a comprehensive sterilization and vaccination camp starting from June 18-July 8. The campy is an effort to address the increasing population of stray dogs and alleviate the problems faced by locals and tourists here.
The camp, organized by Manali Stress Sanstha in team with Healing Himalaya, a prominent NGO, aims to sterilize and vaccinate 100 to 120 stray dogs over a period of three weeks.
The NGOs recognize importance of curbing the stray dog population without resorting to harmful methods like poisoning. Healing Himalaya has stepped forward to provide financial assistance for sterilizing and vaccinating 50 stray dogs against Rabies.
This initiative ensures a humane approach while effectively tackling the problem at its root.
The camp, which will be held from June 18 to July 08, will take place at Rangri in Manali.
The dedicated team comprising Dr. Akash, Loin Kamlesh, Bora, Devender, Lion Harish Thakur, Sourav Rawat, Subhash Kodfa, and Bhupendra Singh, is determined to see this campaign through to its logical end.
In a bid to engage the community and encourage their participation, the councilors of Manali, along with hoteliers and local residents, have been urged to join hands with the dedicated team.
Their assistance in catching stray dogs will contribute significantly to the success of the camp and the overall mission of curbing the stray dog menace.
Moreover, the camp is not limited to stray dogs alone.
Individuals who wish to have the stray dogs in their vicinity sterilized can call the helpline provided during the duration of the camp.
This inclusive approach empowers residents to actively contribute to controlling the stray dog population in their immediate surroundings.
Healing Himalaya, known for its commitment to animal welfare and environmental conservation, believes that sterilization is the most effective and ethical way to manage the growing population of stray dogs.
By neutering and vaccinating these animals, the NGO aims to prevent the spread of diseases like Rabies and ensure the well-being of both the dogs and the local community.
With the cooperation of locals, tourists, and the dedicated team of professionals, this sterilization and vaccination camp is poised to make a significant impact on the stray dog situation in Manali. By working together and adopting a compassionate approach, the town can become a safer and more harmonious place for both its human and canine residents.
