After Delhi, Rajasthan Court Orders Removal Of Stray Dogs
Walking around the desert state of Rajasthan, you may not find dogs taking a stroll and barking at people or cattles resting in the middle of the road, as the High Court orders the removal of stray dogs and other animals from city roads. The Rajasthan High Court passed this direction in a suo motu plea, wherein the court took cognisance of dog bite incidents and the menace of stray animals causing deaths in the state. This comes after the Supreme Court on Monday ordered all stray dogs to be removed from Delhi-NCR localities following repeated instances of dog bites leading to deaths. The order extends to Noida, Gurugram and Ghaziabad. On August 11, the Rajasthan High Court directed municipal bodies to remove stray dogs and other animals from city roads while ensuring that minimum physical harm is caused to them. The court clarified that anyone who comes in the way of the municipal bodies from removing stray animals from the roads/colonies/public paths, will face action. Municipal officials and employees have been given a free hand to act, including lodging First Information Report (FIR) against people coming in the way of their work, obstructing public servants from performing their duties. A division bench of Justice Kuldeep Mathur and Justice Ravi Chirania, while issuing a slew of directions, said, "The Municipal bodies shall also undertake a special drive to remove stray dogs and other animals from city roads while ensuring that minimum physical harm is caused to them. If an individual or a group of persons obstruct the employees of Municipalities from discharging their duties in removing the stray animals from the roads/colonies/public paths, then Municipal Officials/employees will be free to take appropriate action against them under the relevant Municipal Laws including lodging of the FIRs for obstructing public servants from performing their duties." Immediate action is sought from Jodhpur Municipal Corporation in removing stray animals from the premises of AIIMS, Jodhpur and the district court - the two places that witness heavy footfall. The National Highways Authority and the State Highways Authority is directed to regularly patrol highways and ensure free vehicular movements. The court also asked the Municipal Corporation to release numbers or email addresses for citizens to lodge complaints against stray animals. In case any citizen wants to feed stray animals, they shall do so at the shelter home or cattle ponds, the court added. "We expect from the general public that if due to their sentiments or religious believes or for love towards the animals, they want to feed them or offer food or take care of them, then they shall perform such activities at dog shelters and cattle ponds/ Gaushalas maintained by the Municipalities or private individual/organization," the court said. The Additional Advocate General (AAG) has been asked to file a detailed report on the condition and maintenance of dog shelters and cattle ponds. The matter is listed next for September 8.

J-K Police raid 8 locations in Srinagar in case of Kashmiri Pandit nurse killed 35 years ago
Reopening the case of the brutal murder of a 27-year-old Kashmiri Pandit nurse more than three decades ago, the Jammu and Kashmir Police Special Investigation Agency (SIA) late Monday conducted raids at multiple locations to gather evidence. Officials said SIA searched eight locations across Srinagar district in connection with the killing of Sarla Bhatt, who was abducted from the Habba Khatoon Hostel of the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) in Soura on April 18, 1990. Bhatt's body was found dead the next morning with bullet wounds at Umar Colony, Mallabagh. According to sources in J-K Police, Bhatt was abducted and killed by terrorists affiliated with the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). A note labelling her as a police informant was found on her body. A First Information Report (FIR) was registered at the Nigeen Police Station, but the investigation at the time 'could not bring out the actual perpetrators'. Police sources said Bhatt had defied militant diktats to Pandits to quit government jobs and leave the Valley, and had openly challenged the JKLF's authority, which led to her killing. Her family, they added, faced threats even after her death, with locals warning them against attending her cremation. The case was transferred to SIA last year. The searches, police sources said, have led to the recovery of 'incriminating evidence' that will help 'unearth the whole terrorist conspiracy' with the aim of delivering justice to Bhatt and her family. The sources said the raids were part of efforts by the SIA to fulfil the J-K administration's resolve to identify and prosecute those behind 'heinous terror acts' of the 1990s.

Case Filed Against 2 Navi Mumbai Doctors After 5 Patients Contract Infections
Thane: Five patients suffered from serious eye infections after an operation at a prominent eye hospital in Navi Mumbai, prompting police to register a case against two ophthalmologists who conducted the surgeries without having a license, officials said on Wednesday. The surgeries in question were performed between December 2024 and March 2025 at the private eye hospital located at Vashi in Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai township, they said. "The accused doctors are alleged to have conducted the eye surgeries in a rash, hasty, and negligent manner. As a result, five patients, including a couple aged above 65, suffered severe eye injuries. The victims were diagnosed with serious infections caused by the pseudomonas virus following the surgeries," an official from Vashi police station said. The doctors allegedly carried out the surgeries without the requisite renewal of their licenses from the Maharashtra Medical Council during the period, he said. A First Information Report (FIR) was registered on Monday based on a probe report submitted by the civil surgeon, who conducted a thorough investigation into the victims' complaints. The civil surgeon's report corroborated the allegations made by victims to the police, the official said. The Vashi police registered the FIR against the two doctors under sections 125(a), 125(b) (act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as well as provisions of the National Medical Commission Act, he said. No arrest has been made so far, and a detailed probe is underway, the official added.
