New Delhi: The Delhi government will implement in a time-bound manner the Supreme Court order for shifting stray dogs in the city to shelter homes, Development Minister Kapil Mishra said on Monday.
Mishra said the verdict will pave the way to free Delhi from the fear of rabies and stray animals.
The Supreme Court termed the stray dog menace in the city “extremely grim” and directed the Delhi government and civic bodies to start picking up strays from all localities at the earliest and keep them at dog shelters.
While passing a slew of directions to tackle the menace of dog bite incidents, the court warned that if any person or organisation comes in the way of picking up of stray dogs by the authorities, strict action will be taken against them.
