The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has introduced new pet ownership regulations, set to take effect from November 24, making licensing, vaccination, sterilisation, and microchipping mandatory for all pets in the city. Pet owners who fail to obtain a license will face fines of up to INR 5,000, while those who walk dogs without collars, leashes, or muzzles will be penalised INR 500. The initiative also enforces annual anti-rabies vaccinations and mandates owners to clean up after their pets. To streamline compliance, GCC will provide free microchipping and vaccination services at six city-run centres and create a digital platform to record and track pet data. From November 24, house-to-house inspections will begin, ensuring adherence to these rules. Chennai Dog Attack: Pitbull Mauls 55-Year-Old Man to Death in Jafferkhanpet, Injures Owner Trying to Restrain It.
