Breaking: Supreme Court To Deliver Key Verdict On Stray Dogs In Delhi-NCR Today

A crucial decision is set to be announced today as the Supreme Court of India delivers its verdict on the future of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR. The matter, which has sparked widespread debate, is being closely watched by both animal lovers and residents concerned about rising dog-bite cases.Earlier, on August 14, a three-judge bench had completed hearings on the issue after a two-judge bench previously ordered that stray dogs be sent to shelter homes. That ruling triggered massive protests from animal welfare activists across the country, prompting Chief Justice of India to refer the matter to a larger bench.The central question before the Supreme Court is whether stray dogs should be relocated to shelter homes or allowed to remain on the streets under protection laws. Supporters of relocation argue that increasing dog attacks threaten public safety, while animal rights groups insist that removing dogs from their natural environment amounts to cruelty against voiceless beings.Past incidents of violence during dog-catching drives highlight the sensitivity of the issue. The Court had earlier directed that interfering with municipal actions would be treated as contempt. Today’s ruling will determine how India balances public safety with compassion for animals.
