To encourage more people to get their pet dogs licensed, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) will soon launch a drive —’Mission Pet License’. As per the initiative, the team of the ward will trace the pet owner while they are out for a morning walk and appeal to them to register their pets.

“As the number of licensed dogs in Navi Mumbai has reduced, the civic authority has decided to start this drive. We will trace unlicensed dogs while the owner takes them for a walk,” said an officer of NMMC. “Our team will appeal to the pet owner to register their pet and get a license as it is mandatory by NMMC law. A team of officers will visit places for morning walks,” said Mitali Sanchati, ward officer of Belapur.
