He added that while it is not possible to establish a shelter for stray dogs in every municipality, as there are 100 municipalities and it would be financially burdensome, the ministry is working in coordination with donor countries to establish a shelter between every three to four municipalities.

The demand has assumed more urgency after the recent increase in such attacks, with people accusing the government, represented by the Ministry of Local Administration, of staying completely silent and doing nothing about the crisis, especially when it comes to children.
