Dogesh Bhai showed great loyalty and saved the children." Some even likened the pet to a “a silent guardian, a watchful protector."

Supreme Court Directs Urgent Action on Stray Dogs

The Supreme Court has ordered the Delhi government and the civic bodies of Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad to capture all stray dogs, sterilise them, and relocate them permanently to shelters within eight weeks.

A bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan instructed authorities to set up shelters capable of housing around 5,000 strays, with adequate staff for sterilisation and vaccination drives. Once moved, the court made it clear, these dogs must not be released back into streets, residential colonies, or public places.

Calling for decisive action, the bench remarked, “We need to pick up round up with whatever means to ensure dog free locality, and that’s how children and the aged will feel safe. Have you seen the classic ‘Good, Bad and the Ugly’ – when you want to shoot, shoot, don’t talk. It’s not the time to talk but act,"

The judges emphasised that, “Infants and young children, not at any cost, should not fall prey to rabies. The action should inspire confidence that they can move freely without fear of being bitten by stray dogs. No sentiments should be involved."

The court also issued a strong caution that any person or organisation obstructing the stray dog capture and sheltering process will face strict legal consequences.
