New Delhi, Aug. 17 -- In a significant move to tackle the dog menace, the Shimla Municipal Corporation has launched a campaign in which all stray dogs will be equipped with QR and GPS-based collars to monitor the behaviour of the canines. This comes weeks after the Supreme Court's directive for the blanket removal of stray dogs from Delhi NCR - which has drawn massive backlash from politicians, activists, and citizens.

These tags, tied around the dogs' necks, will contain imperative information such as sterilisation status, vaccination records, overall health, age, and behaviour. Residents can access all this information about the dogs simply by scanning the details, according to a report by The Tribune.
