The Supreme Court convened on Thursday to deliberate on the pressing issue of stray dogs in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR). A three-judge panel, led by Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and N V Anjaria, is responsible for scrutinizing the situation.
Previously, on August 11, a separate bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan mandated Delhi-NCR authorities to initiate the capture and relocation of stray dogs to designated shelters without delay.
The directive requires authorities to report back on the progress of shelter establishment within eight weeks, ensuring that stray dogs remain in shelters and are not returned to the streets, mitigating the risk of rabies outbreaks, especially among children.
