The Delhi government is contemplating a revision in legal frameworks to effectively manage the burgeoning issue of stray dogs, a government insider revealed on Thursday.
In a high-level meeting led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, potential amendments were discussed, potentially allowing the relocation of stray animals. However, no definitive decision has been reached due to current legal constraints permitting limited interventions.
The urgency stems from mounting public pressure, fueled by the tragic death of a young girl. With the Supreme Court highlighting the increasing frequency of dog bite incidents, the government faces growing demands for a substantial legal response.
