Bombay HC Ordered Stray Dog Shelters Years, 3 Yrs Before SC's Directive
1 2 Nagpur: Nearly three years before Supreme Court's directive to Delhi's civic authorities on Monday to move stray dogs to shelters, the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court had issued a similar directive — and went a step ahead by introducing a ₹200 fine for feeding dogs in public spaces. The high court in October 2022 restricted public feeding, barring at an individual's own property, an authorised shelter, or another approved site. "If any person is interested in feeding stray dogs, they should first adopt them, bring them home, register them with municipal authorities, or put them in a shelter home. No citizen, no resident, and no areas shall make any attempt to feed the stray dogs in public places, gardens," the bench stated. While the apex court later stayed the penalty and mandatory adoption to feed strays, the order to build large shelter homes remains unimplemented. The court clarified that the directive to adopt stray dogs for feeding was impractical and potentially harmful, as stray dogs could become more aggressive if not fed. Even this stay was later vacated after SC disposed of the case. In October 2022, Justice Sunil Shukre, along with Justice Anil Pansare, directed the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to identify suitable land for housing strays, stressing the facilities should be "well equipped with sufficient manpower and all facilities required for their upkeep and maintenance." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Vietnam Solar Panels: See How Much It Will Cost To Install Them (See Prices) Solar Panel | Search Ads Learn More Undo "After all, one cannot forget that a dog is man's best friend. Therefore, we must take it as a duty to take care of them, whether they are reared as pets or allowed to grow up in the streets," the bench observed. Despite repeated reminders, NMC has yet to finalise sites. In August 2024, the civic body told the court it had shortlisted four locations — at Dudrabhari (Rithi) and Tishti, about 46km and 60km off city, and two at Tondkhairi, 23km away. The bench has now sought a detailed development plan for these plots. The 2022 order also invoked Section 44 of Maharashtra Police Act, 1951, empowering city police to detain stray dogs "by whatever means" and, in certain cases, cull them. The judges directed police to act promptly on complaints of stray dog attacks and hand detained animals to the monitoring committee set up under Rule 4 of Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001. It also instructed the NMC commissioner to sensitise officers on their duties under Rules 7, 8, and 10 of 2001 regulations, which cover controlling nuisance and ensuring humane treatment of strays, and ordered all respondents to submit compliance reports. The first case was filed by social activist Vijay Talewar through senior counsel Firdos Mirza in the HC's Nagpur bench in 2006, which was later converted into a PIL. However, NMC continues to falter in taking effective measures, allowing the stray dog population to grow to nearly one lakh within the city, the petitioner claimed.

Rain stalls work, Dec new deadline for clearing legacy waste from Sec 23 dumping ground
Panchkula : In what will prolong the inconvenience for residents, the Panchkula municipal corporation is going to miss its Aug 31 deadline for clearing the legacy waste from the dumping ground in Sector 23. Dec is the new deadline for the bioremediation of the entire waste. A fresh tender to clear 1.70 lakh tonnes of waste was allotted to an agency. Work started this April with Rs 11.50 crore. However, officials told TOI that 1.25 lakh metric tonnes of garbage is yet to be lifted. The project entailed clearing the site of waste accumulated over the past 15 years. "The pace of work slowed down due to the rains. Little progress could be made. Wet garbage does not get bioremediated and gets stuck in the machine, so it will not get completed by Aug 31. We will clear it by Dec," said an MC official. It must be recalled that the city scored 99% in the category of remediation of dumpsites during the recent Swachh Survekshan. The official credited it to the removal of garbage from a dumping ground in Jhuriwala, followed by a huge pile of dump from Sector 23. The state govt had given its go-ahead for the removal of the remaining 1.70 LMT of garbage from Sector 23, which is the final phase of the work. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Under the previous tender, 3.72 LMT of waste was cleared in three years by the contractor. The second phase work was also assigned to the existing contractor. The issue of the dumping ground has remained a significant political flashpoint, particularly during the last Lok Sabha and assembly elections. Frustrated with alleged govt apathy and years of neglect, residents launched major protests, demanding a permanent solution. The area surrounding the dumping ground in Sector 23 reeks of an unbearable, foul stench, making it very difficult for residents to keep their doors and windows open to let the air in. The area is frequented by stray cattle, dogs, and other animals and insects. It presents a poor picture of the city, which got its worst-ever national ranking of 219 in the Swachh Survekshan in the segment of cities with a 50,000 to 3 lakh population. It is the city's worst national ranking in the eight-year history of the survey. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
