THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In the wake of the death of an 11-year-old boy in the attack of a stray dog ​​in Kannur Muzhappilangad, Minister MB Rajesh informed that all precautions and vigilance will be taken by the government to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. The minister said in a Facebook post that the state government will approach the Supreme Court again seeking permission to kill stray dogs, which are dangerous to human life.

A meeting of top officials of various government departments will be held soon and necessary steps will be taken to control the stray dog ​​problem. There was considerable local opposition to the establishment of stray dog ​​shelters and Animal Birth Control centers in many places. The minister said that some local bodies have shown indifference to these activities when the stray dog ​​problem reduced significantly as a result of the intensive efforts that started last September.
