There will be no stray dogs in the capital Delhi and NCR now - Supreme Court.
The #Supreme Court has issued an order to show the way out to stray #dogs from the #NCR of the capital Delhi. The government has taken this work seriously and has decided to take action on it as soon as possible. Chief Minister #Rekha_Gupta clearly said in her statement that we were already working on this. We will start working on it soon and the people of #Delhi will benefit.
After the decision given by the Supreme Court regarding stray dogs in #Delhi-NCR, it is being discussed all over the country. The atmosphere in the country has become heated. From leaders to celebrities, everyone is commenting on the order of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme
Court, taking cognizance of the cases related to stray dog bites, ordered that
all stray dogs should be removed from the streets of the country's capital and
the cities around it within six to eight weeks. This order of the Supreme Court
was for #Delhi-NCR, although the implementation of this order is being
considered in some other states as well.
The bench of
Justice #JB_Pardiwala and Justice #R._Mahadevan described the problems caused by
stray dogs as a huge threat and said that newborns and young children must be
kept away from the risk of stray dog bites and rabies at any cost. This
decision of the Supreme Court will be applicable in Delhi as well as Noida,
Ghaziabad, Gurugram.
Many
questions have arisen in India regarding this decision. For example - how will
such a campaign be run in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).
The latest figures of stray dogs in India are not available in the public domain. If we talk only about Delhi, in 2019, a subcommittee constituted by the Delhi Legislative Assembly had estimated the number of stray dogs in the city to be close to the eight lakhs. At present, this number is estimated to cross 10 lakhs, according to the data of the 20th Livestock Census.
However, according to the data of the 20th Livestock Census conducted in 2019, 1.53 crore stray dogs were recorded across the country, which was slightly less than the 1.71 crore stray dogs in 2012. However, unofficially their number is claimed to be between 6 crores to 6 crore 20 lakhs.
According to the 2019 report, the number of stray dogs had increased in 17 states of India, including Maharashtra and Karnataka. Apart from this, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka were the states with the highest number of stray dogs. The surprising thing is that clear records of stray dogs were not found in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Lakshadweep and Manipur. On the other hand, 69 stray dogs were recorded in Mizoram and 342 in Nagaland.
