According to AMC estimates, there are about 50,000 pet dogs in Ahmedabad, but as of September-end, only 18,596 have been registered.

Corporation officials said notices will be issued to those who fail to comply, and house-to-house inspections will be carried out to identify unregistered pets.

The rule was made compulsory under AMC’s 'Rabies-Free Ahmedabad City–2030' initiative, effective from January 1, 2024.

In May this year, a four-month-old baby died after being attacked by a Rottweiler in Radhe Residency, Ramol-Hathijan ward. The incident prompted AMC to intensify awareness programmes urging pet owners to register their animals, get vaccinations, and follow safety rules.
