The Supreme Court on Wednesday is hearing a case on stray dogs and cattle, raising concerns over safety on highways and public places. A three-judge bench says it will listen to both supporters and critics in the matter. The court is told that only 10 states have filed compliance affidavits so far. The amicus curiae says many filings do not give full data on shelters or on how stray cattle are being moved. It is reported that 2,691 cattle have been shifted to gaushalas, but risky highway stretches are not listed. The bench also refers to recent accidents involving judges due to stray cattle and asks authorities to explain gaps in enforcement. (PC: India Today)
