The Supreme Court questions why stray dogs were removed in Delhi before its order was public, as it hears challenges to the directive mandating their relocation to shelters.
The Supreme Court on Thursday pulled up local authorities over their handling of the stray dog crisis in Delhi-NCR and reserved its decision on petitions challenging its controversial August 11 order to round up all stray dogs and move them to shelters.
A three-judge bench of Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sandeep Mehta, and Justice N V Anjaria questioned why animal removal drives had begun in some areas before the earlier order was even made public. “Parliament frames rules and laws, but they are not implemented. Local authorities are not doing what they should be doing. They should be here taking responsibility,” the bench remarked.
