Police on Monday detained animal rights activists, rescuers, and dog lovers protesting at India Gate against the Supreme Court order to relocate all stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to shelters within eight weeks. Protesters said they were being punished for feeding and caring for animals. The court, led by Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan, ordered all localities to be cleared of stray dogs, with no captured dog to be released back. It warned of contempt action against anyone obstructing the drive. Authorities were told to set up shelters with enough staff to sterilise and vaccinate the dogs. (PC: ANI)
