Total 20 stray dogs now have their own Aadhaar card identification QR codes attached. On Saturday morning, the Govt officials assigned them the unique identification code outside the city Airport. These QR codes are strung around the neck of these dogs and one can get all the information about them after scanning it. This method will be very helpful in identifying a dog in a missing case.
