Porvorim: The stray dog menace will be tackled with large-scale sterilisation and vaccination programmes, with priority in coastal belts and beaches, said CM Pramod Sawant while presenting the state budget on Wednesday. His statement came following a series of attacks on locals and tourists, especially foreigners, on Goa’s beaches.
Sawant further shared plans to tackle stray cattle. A new policy on road engineering and design will be introduced to construct green corridors along major highways, which will stop access to stray cattle, improve aesthetics, and ensure commuter safety on roads, he added.
