Bhopal: For the sterilization of stray dogs, the municipal corporation has selected a social organization (NGO), which will start sterilization work after the contract. Probably by the end of this month, other processes including contracts will be completed. A file in this regard has also been sent to veteran officials. Actually, the contract of the sterilization institution in the city has ended in November last year.
