IN Noida, pet owners will have to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 if their pets attack people/other animals and they will also be responsible for the treatment of the injured, with effect from March 2023.
The decision was taken in the 207th board meeting of the Noida Authority in accordance with the guidelines of the Animal Welfare Board of India.
The Noida Authority has formulated a policy regarding pet animals amid rising cases of the menace caused by pet dogs. The Authority approved the policy to govern the keeping of pets and feeding of strays in the wake of several instances of dog attacks reported in the city.
The Authority in its guidelines also made it mandatory for pet owners to register their pets by January 31, 2023, and a fine will be imposed in case of failure of registration.
The Authority had earlier announced the framework for the proposed policies in the wake of the death of an infant who was attacked by a stray dog while his parents were working on a road in Noida's Lotus Boulevard society. The Authority has also made anti-rabies vaccination of pet dogs mandatory. Pet owners will have to pay a fine of Rs 2,000 every month in case they fail.
The Chief Executive Officer of Noida Authority, Ritu Maheshwari, said in a tweet: "in case of any untoward incident due to a pet dog/cat, treatment of injured person or animal will be done by the pet owners." She further said that if a pet dog litters in a public place, it will be the responsibility of the owner to clean it.
