Goa is the first Indian state which didn’t report a single rabies case in the last three years, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Wednesday.

“We have now achieved 5,40,593 vaccinations against the rabies in dogs and educated nearly a lakh people in dog bite prevention across Goa as well as set up 24-hours rabies surveillance involving an emergency hotline and rapid response team for dog bite victims,” the Chief Minister told reporters after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
