Hyderabad is going to witness an awareness program on Pets’ wellness this Saturday. Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s veterinary officials will become a part of this drive-in MHJ where Pets’ parents will be educated more on the front.
The compulsory GHMC license, NOC certificates from neighbors, and all vaccination records will be checked on the camp, which is slated to begin at 10 am on February 6th.
The GHMC has made it mandatory for every person wishing to own a pet to get a license first from the authorities. In case a person has already registered with the department, they need to submit the GHMC license, non-objection certificate, and anti-rabies vaccination certificates to the admin office on or before 5th February.
More details and information on the matter is enclosed in the website and pet parents can browse through the online GHMC pet registration guidelines. They can log on to https://tinyurl.com/reoistrationofpets2021 site in order to get registered.
Following the registration with the GHMC and ADMIN, on the drive day, every pet parent will receive an MHJ PET ID tag. A nominal fee of Rs. 120 will be charged for this, to be paid by parents. These tags are mandatory entities as they are essential in helping authorities and the public identity pets in incidences when they go missing and also for any future verification of the GHMC pet licenses, NOC, vaccination records, and other such uses.
According to the GHMC’s official statement, “GHMC license, NOC certificate and Yearly Pet vaccination details should be submitted at Admin office mandatorily. All existing pet parents should adhere to this GHMC and MHJ guidelines of registering their pets and any unregistered pets will be handed over to GHMC.”
In accordance with the notice issued on 29th May 2020 and the Bye-Laws-18.18 regarding pets, the association released a set of guidelines for pet parents include:
- No pet will be left unaccompanied or with kids. It is mandatory for adult parents or their adult representatives to be present with them.
- Every pet should be wearing a leash when taken out in common areas and MHJ’s driveways.
- All Pets are to be carried only in Service Lifts. However, in rare cases where the service lift is nonfunctional or in use by other people such as packers and movers or milk vendors, the passenger lift number 1 situated beside the service lift can be utilized, but as a strict exception. At all times, the service lift is to be used as the first choice.
- Purposes including defecation, urination, walking, strolling, etc cannot be done in places including jogging tracks, central park, children play area, food courts, sitting areas near blocks, laws, swimming pool, and clubhouse. All parents are to train their pets against accessing these areas.
- In case of any mishap concerning the pets’ sudden urination or defecation at a certain area, it is the respective pet parents’ responsibility to clean the place.
- There can be no congregations or formation of groups with pets in the same place. Any such activity found will lead to penalization of the pet parents. The act also accounts for the violation of social distancing norms for covid-19.
- If any person is a suspected or confirmed case of covid-19, he/she must avoid coming in contact with all animals, pets included.
- If any resident gets any sort of inconvenience from pet parents, they are to alert the MC regarding the same instead of establishing a one-on-one conversation regarding it with the parents or their representatives.
- Strict adherence to time has to be maintained when it comes to the movement of pets. They are only allowed to go around between 6 am-8 am and 5 pm-7 pm.
- Any pet’s death/missing information has to be updated with the admin for changing the data present.
