Supreme Court Clarifies Stray Dog Policy in Delhi-NCR, Halting Relocation Order

In a recent decision, the Supreme Court has addressed multiple petitions related to its earlier directives on stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR area. The court has suspended its previous order from August 11. Under the new stipulations, the capture of stray dogs is permitted, but the dogs must be released after they are sterilized. The court has clarified that this release applies specifically to stray dogs that are not rabid and do not display aggressive behavior. The original order, which required the relocation of stray dogs, had led to considerable public protest across various regions, including the national capital.
