Details About SC Verdict
On Friday (November 7), the Supreme Court of India delivered a major verdict on the issue of stray dogs, directing that all stray dogs be removed from public places such as schools, hospitals, bus stands, railway stations, highways and residential colonies to ensure public safety.
The Court ordered that the animals be sterilised and vaccinated under the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2023, and then relocated to designated shelters rather than being released back into the same areas.
The bench also directed all states, Union Territories and local bodies to create proper infrastructure for housing and managing stray animals. The ruling aims to address the growing menace of dog attacks and ensure a balance between animal welfare and public safety.
