The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has introduced a new online platform to manage complaints and register vaccinations and sterilisations for both stray and pet dogs. This initiative also offers essential information on animal welfare.
Led by BMC Commissioner Dr. Bhushan Gagrani, Additional Municipal Commissioner Mrs. Ashwini Joshi, and Deputy Commissioner Kiran Dighavkar, the system aims to make animal welfare services more accessible to Mumbai residents.
Dr. Kalimpasha Pathan, General Manager of the Veterinary Health Department, explained, “The online facility offers comprehensive information on various animal welfare measures implemented by the BMC. It also provides resources on government departments and organisations working in this field. Citizens can register their stray or pet dogs for vaccination and sterilisation through the MyBMC mobile application or by visiting the link (https://vhd.mcgm.gov.in/register-grievance) on the BMC website. Users need to select either ‘Complaint’ or ‘Request’ on the platform and fill in the required fields. A unique number is generated for each submission, allowing citizens to track the status of their complaints or requests in real-time.”
