File photo of microchips installed in stray dogs on a test basis in Bengalur
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is set up to float the offer for microchip stray dogs for the third time, although charity confidence moves the Supreme Court to attack the project. This matter is currently a subway.
According to the choice of selection, it is estimated that the project costs CRORE 3.23 GBP. Of these, the CRORE 3.09 GBP is assigned to obtain 1,62,817 microchips and 14.85 ₹ Lakh is earmarked for the purchase of 50 microchips readers. BBMP overseeing the project explained that each microchip measuring around 1-1.5 mm will be injected into the first layer of dogs of dogs near the neck using a hypodermic needle. This procedure will be performed by experts working under the ABC Antimping Control (ABC) program. As the clerk, the selected supplier noted, will be obliged to obtain microchips that are not produced in India, as well as to provide software for storing and managing related data.
“Experiments will be held in the phases when we complete the implantation of previously purchased microchips. We will inform the supplier in advance and will be responsible for the delivery of another benefit,” Hindu clerk said, adding that even if there is no fixed deadline, the project is expected to be completed within one or two years. The supplier is also obliged to provide software services to which BBMP will be free of charge for one year. Then the supplier submits an annual cost estimate and the BBMP will apply accordingly.
According to BBMP officials, only two known suppliers, one of the gujarat and one of the bombs, currently meet the capacity criteria. Surralkar Vikas Kishhor, a special commissioner (Health and Animal Justry), BBMP, said that the first offer hovering in February last year did not receive any offers. Later this year, the second offer was issued and was awarded to the supplier, but did not meet the requirements of the software service listed in the offer.
Meanwhile, BBMP performed a pilot project in which microchips were implanted in 500 stray dogs. The audit performed 15 days later showed no adverse effects on dogs and chips worked effectively, according to Mr. Kishor. Each microchip will include a GPS tracker and a unique identification number (UIN), allowing BBMP officials to find microchipette dogs. UIN will store data, including vaccination details, dog positions and photos, all of which will be stored on the server accessible through the software.
Animal law activist ARUN PRASAD called the illegal project. “ABC rules do not allow the implantation of microchips in stray dogs with free roaming. They allow private dog owners only to microchip their pets for identification purposes,” Mr. Prasad said. Charitable confidence in Bengalur was filed by the High Court on the basis of a project of litigation (Pil). The case is currently a judicial consideration.
