Supreme Court has stopped its earlier order to move all stray dogs in Delhi and nearby cities into shelters. The new ruling allows dogs to be released back after vaccination and sterilisation. Only rabid or aggressive dogs will be kept in shelters. The court also banned feeding strays in public spaces, asking for special areas instead. Animal lovers may adopt dogs, but they cannot return them to the streets. Activists welcomed the decision as more humane. The court said a national stray dog policy will be made after reviewing cases across states. (PC: BBC)
