New Delhi: The Supreme Court has instructed the Delhi government, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the New Delhi Municipal Corporation to clear all localities of Delhi, especially the open localities and cities, of stray dogs, making no compromise in the operation.
Hearing a suo motu case initiated by the court over several incidents of rabies and deaths from stray dog bites, a two-judge bench consisting of Justice JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said that the operation should also be undertaken at the earliest, reports Bar and Bench.
The judges directed the authorities to plan the operation, including forming a force for it. They further stressed that clearing the localities of stray dogs should be a priority for the authorities.
The Delhi government and the municipalities were directed to create dog shelters within eight weeks and equip them with staff members to sterilize and immunize the dogs. The dog shelters should also be provided with CCTV cameras, the judges have said.
The apex court has warned that strict action would be taken against individuals or organizations obstructing the operation. Referring to animal rights activists and criticizing them heavily, the bench asked if the activists could bring alive the victims of rabies.
The judges orally stated, "We are not doing this for us—it is for the public interest. so no sentiments of any nature should be involved. Action should be taken at the earlier. Pick up dogs from all localities and shift them to far off places.”
