The Supreme Court has directed the Delhi government, civic bodies and authorities of the National Capital Region (NCR) to start picking up the stray dogs and shift them to shelters. It has also warned against releasing the canines kept at centres on the streets, colonies and public places after sterilisation and immunisation. But why? The Supreme Court has ordered all public institutions and transport hubs to be fenced and cleared of stray dogs amid an “alarming rise” in dog-bite incidents. The Supreme Court ordered Delhi-NCR authorities to urgently catch, sterilise, and permanently relocate stray dogs to shelters, warning that any individual or organisation obstructing the process would face legal action.
