Animal rights activist and BJP leader Maneka Gandhi has welcomed the Supreme Court's latest decision on stray dogs.
Let us tell you that a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court has ordered that all stray dogs sent to shelter homes should be released.
Maneka Gandhi supported the court's order to create special eating places for dogs and emphasized that, for the first time in 25 years, the government has announced a fund of Rs 2500 crore in Parliament for this program.
'How will it be decided whether dogs are violent or not?'
Maneka Gandhi said, "I am very happy with this scientific decision. The main reason for dog bites is fear and changing places. There is no question of releasing dogs suffering from rabies. The court did not clarify which dog is an aggressive dog; its definition should be decided." He said, "We will try to decide which of the aggressive dogs. As per the law, a committee is formed on this matter, which decides what kind of behaviour will be considered aggressive."
There are many people who are not friendly towards dogs, and they can take advantage of the clause given in the decision and declare the dogs as aggressive, so that they can be kept in captivity.

She said, "It is right to create special places for feeding. The municipal corporation will also have to put up signboards for such places. The court has said that this decision will be applicable to the whole country. According to the order, municipal corporations will have to build proper Animal Birth Control (ABC) centers. For the first time in 25 years, the government said in Parliament that Rs 2500 crore will be given for this program."
What did the Supreme Court say in the latest order?
The Supreme Court today changed its old order of August 11 and gave new instructions regarding the management of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR.
The court said that after sterilization and vaccination, the dogs will be released back in the same area, but dogs suffering from rabies or showing aggressive behavior will be kept separately.
The court clarified, "After sterilization and vaccination, stray dogs will be released in the same area, except those dogs suffering from rabies or showing aggressive behavior."
The court also ordered that dogs will not be fed in public places. Instead, special feeding places will be created. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was directed to create feeding places in its wards. The court also said that animal lovers can apply to the MCD to adopt dogs.
Court order to formulate national policy
The Supreme Court issued notice to the secretaries of the Animal Husbandry Department of all states and union territories to consider making a national policy to deal with the problem of stray dogs.
The court ordered its registry to take information from all the High Courts where petitions related to stray dogs are pending. The court also said that all such petitions will be transferred to the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court lawyer and petitioner Nanita Sharma praised the decision, calling it "balanced".
She said, "This is a balanced order. The court has included all the states in this matter. Pending cases related to dogs in all states will be brought under one court. The court said that normal dogs will be sterilized and aggressive dogs will be kept in pounds or animal shelters. The court also ordered that the MCD should create special feeding places for dogs."
What did the old Supreme Court order say?
On August 11, the Supreme Court had ordered that all areas of Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad will have to be free from stray dogs and there will be no compromise in this.
