A 2-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court taking suo moto cognizance of a disturbing and alarming Newspaper cutting reported by the `Times of India’ titled “City Hounded By Strays, Kids Pay Price”, passed directions to immediately start picking up stray dogs from all localities and shift them to dog shelters. The Bench further said that not a single stray dog was to be released. The Bench warned that any individual or organisation obstructing the authorities from picking up stray dogs, would face legal consequences. The directions also extend to the NCR region.
The Supreme Court Bench clarified that authorities can use force if it was necessary to pick up the strays.
The State of NCT of Delhi, MCD and NDMC have been directed to immediately make dog shelters and report about the creation of infrastructure within 8 weeks.
