'Dog lovers are the vast majority, not a vocal minority," Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra posted on X, appealing the Supreme Court to stay, what she called an 'inhumane order' on stray dogs. The TMC MP's comments come after the Supreme Court, on Thursday, reserved its order on petitions challenging its August 11 directive to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR streets and confine them permanently in shelters. Instead of permanently shifting the dogs to shelters, Mahua Moitra appealed to the Supreme Court 'to return to a system of sterilisation and community care.' On August 11, the Supreme Court directed all stray dogs in Delhi and NCR cities (Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Faridabad) to be shifted to shelters within eight weeks. The court also warned of legal action against those obstructing the process. The apex court's order also bars captured dogs from being released back into their original areas, diverging from the existing Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023 The SC asked for facilities with sterilisation, vaccination, and CCTV monitoring to house dogs safely. SC's order sparked a wave of protests across Delhi NCR, with animal activists criticising the move. After petitions challenged the August 11 ruling, the matter was placed before a new three-judge bench. On August 14, the SC reserved its interim order while criticising local bodies for failing to implement sterilisation programmes effectively.

She appealed to the people to give BJP a chance in the upcoming local body elections. 'You have seen ten years of BRS rule, and now you are experiencing the deceptive Congress rule. If you elect BJP this time, I will change the face of CC Kunta and take full responsibility for its development.'
