Dehradun, Dec 17 (PTI) In Dehradun, an FIR will be registered against the owner if a pet dog bites someone.

Following the incidents of dog attacks, particularly by aggressive breeds like Rottweiler, the municipal corporation in Dehradun has formulated rules regarding dog ownership.

Under the Dehradun Dog Licensing Bylaws-2025, in addition to mandatory challan action, an FIR can also be registered against the owner if a pet dog bites someone, and the corporation can take the dog into its custody.

According to the rules, which will come into effect after publication in the official gazette, it will be mandatory to obtain a licence for dogs older than three months, which will be valid for one year from the date of registration or renewal.
