India, July 31 -- In a push to control the city's community dog population, a Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) committee on Wednesday recommended expediting sterilisation drives and involving more NGOs to scale up the campaign.

The newly formed sub-committee on community dogs, which met for the first time on Wednesday, said it would review existing rules and procedures that are slowing down sterilisation efforts, and seek support from the Delhi and central governments to remove procedural hurdles.
