Today, On 29th January, The Supreme Court reserved its verdict in the stray dogs case, while the AWBI reported only 76 recognised sterilisation centres. The Court also urged the NHAI to develop an app for public reporting of stray animal sightings.
The Supreme Court strongly criticised arguments made on behalf of Sharmila Tagore against a uniform approach to managing stray dogs, calling them “completely removed from reality.” The Bench rejected examples like dogs living in hospital campuses and warned of serious public health risks, reiterating that stray dog management must follow ABC rules.
