When we want the city to do anything in the USA we start petitions and present them to the officials at town meetings. If you have a local newspaper it helps to get them involved. I don’t know how things work in India but maybe these are some ideas Rotten Rotts

If there is no animal shelter where you live you can look on the SPCA website and get some statistical information about stray dog breeding habits and the problems of dogs getting and passing diseases to humans. Not to mention dog attacks. Advise the town administration that people should be warned not to feed strays( even though that sounds awful, it’s just making the problem worse) And also try and get them to start a capture and neuter program to keep the population from growing. They definitely have to catch the dogs though, there’s no way around it. We had a similar problem in Puerto Rico, stray dogs ran in packs and scared everyone who went out. But the military police on the base would catch them and put them in the shelters to be spayed or neutered and it helped a lot. tessamess67

Call animal welfare organizations (http://www.dogsindia.com/animal_welfare_org.htm) and your local corporation and try to get them to come and sterilize the dogs.
If the dogs are killed, more will simply take their place.
Also, you can try feeding the dogs - they are generally very friendly if they are treated decently - give them leftover food, old bread, milk, etc.
There is a good chance that the same dogs that are scaring you now, you will be adoring in the coming weeks. u

Only animal welfare organisations should be trusted to handle this. Stray dogs are not wild that they will always bite or even scare people. Onlyproblem i see is that they can disturb sleep by barking the whole night. If the problem is really serious they may be neutered which must be handled carefully. Govt. agencies do it in such a way, it will tear anybody’s soul apart. As already suggested , you may try treating them with kindness and some food. you will find loyal friends who will happily follow you around town .
Why not each house in your locality adopt a dog each?? popeye

If you can’t get your authorities to act, and if there are no leash laws in your country or city, the people just might have to take desperate measures een if this means killing the stray dogs. If this is the only recourse just be sure to do so humanely and make sure only strays are killed.
If you could catch the dogs you could at least get them spayed and neutered and thus prevent more from being born.
I certainly hope you can get the authorities to take care of this problem. puplovetft
