"The cases of dog bites are on a rise and the only way out is to carry out sterilisation. To begin with, we want that five dog ambulances should be started to ensure sterilisation takes place at a faster speed. We have asked the commissioner to create a detailed proposal," said Sanjeev Nayyar, chairman of Medical Relief and Public Health Committee.

The issue of dog bite cases was raised in the House meeting on Monday wherein councillors claimed that there has been a significant increase in the number of cases.
