Answer» Solution : The STREET dogs are vaccinated by variousNGOs to protect them against infection of rabies. Such vaccinated dogs pose no threat to the PEOPLE. They are also STERILIZED and hence dog population is kept under CONTROL. Municipalities in big cities also work with such NGOs. These measures are not adequate as the NGOs cannot reach to all the parts of cities. In villages too there is no provision LIKE this. There should be participation of the local people and veterinarians in the locality to find solutions about the dog menace.
