October 29, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

KARACHI: Murtaza Wahab, the Administrator of Karachi, has called for immediate decisions regarding the culling and sterilization of stray dogs in the city. This urgent plea comes in response to rising concerns over public safety and health risks posed by the increasing stray dog population.

Wahab emphasized the necessity for swift action during a press conference, stating that the local government must prioritize the issue to protect citizens. He highlighted the alarming rise in dog attacks and the potential spread of diseases, urging relevant authorities to implement effective control measures without delay.

The implications of this situation extend beyond immediate public safety concerns. The growing stray dog population not only poses risks to residents but also affects the overall urban environment and public health systems. Wahab’s statements reflect a broader recognition of the need for humane and effective animal control policies that balance public safety with animal welfare.

Looking ahead, Wahab has announced plans for a meeting with city officials and animal rights organizations to discuss potential strategies for addressing the issue. The focus will be on developing a comprehensive plan that includes both culling and sterilization efforts, ensuring a sustainable approach to managing the stray dog population in Karachi.
