In a landmark ruling, the SC has directed the removal of stray dogs from public spaces in Delhi-NCR.
What Happened

With nearly 26,000 dog bite cases this year
in Delhi, the court says public safety must come first.

The SC called releasing sterilised dogs back “absurd” and demanded urgent relocation to shelters.
Reactions
The order sparked mixed responses—some call it necessary, others say, “Take a stray home, show compassion.”
Controversy
