US EditionSupreme Court's Big Order On Delhi's Stray Dogs Today: 10 Points
The Supreme Court's decision addresses a rise in dog bites, with over 3.7 million cases reported nationwide in 2024, prompting calls for humane stray dog population control measures.
- The Supreme Court is scheduled to announce its decision today, August 22, regarding requests to pause the August 11 order that requires stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to be moved to shelter facilities.
- The directive stemmed from a case taken up on the court’s own motion after a news report on July 28 highlighted issues with stray dogs and injuries to children in Delhi.
- In mid-August, the Supreme Court, through a panel of two justices, directed officials to capture stray dogs, set up shelters for 5,000 animals within two months, and begin relocating all strays without delay.
- The Supreme Court modified the August 11 order to allow releasing sterilised and immunised dogs back into their areas, except those with rabies or aggressive behaviour, as explained by Justice Vikram Nath.
- This issue, involving 37.15 lakh dog bite cases in India in 2024 and 305 rabies deaths last year, has expanded beyond Delhi-NCR, with widespread protests and concerns about implementation and public safety.
