The Supreme Court has transferred the Delhi-NCR stray dogs case to a new three-judge bench, set to hear it tomorrow. The court directed civic bodies to establish shelters for 5,000 dogs within eight weeks, ensuring humane care, sterilisation, and constant monitoring. Overcrowding must be avoided, and CCTV surveillance will track compliance. Adoption schemes may be considered but re-release of strays onto streets is banned. Violations will invite strict action against both officials and individuals. The case, now encompassing four related petitions, aims to address animal welfare while managing urban stray populations in a structured, humane manner.
