Rupali Ganguly's hard-hitting post over SC's order on stray dogs: 'Rabies is tragic, but removing street dogs is...'
Television actress Rupali Ganguly has voiced strong opposition to the Supreme Court's recent directive ordering the relocation of all stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR region to shelter homes. The Anupamaa star said the move ignores the cultural, spiritual and community roles these animals have played for generations. Taking to X on Tuesday, Rupali wrote, 'In our traditions, dogs guard Bhairav Baba's temple and are fed on Amavasya for blessings.' She added that strays have long protected neighbourhoods, guarded shops, and acted as an early warning system against thefts. 'Removing them suddenly is like silencing an alarm before a fire,' she said. According to the actress, shifting strays to distant shelters is 'not kindness, but exile.' She stressed that these animals are 'not strangers but part of Indian faith, culture and community safety,' and called for their care through vaccination and feeding, rather than displacement. In another post, Rupali addressed concerns about rabies but said that mass removal of street dogs was 'a reaction born of fear, not compassion or wisdom.' She further wrote, 'Rabies can be eradicated, as proven by cities worldwide, through mass vaccination and sterilisation, not through breaking the spirits of animals by caging them away. Uprooting them from their territories will create more chaos, more dog fights, and even more risk of disease as new unvaccinated animals move in.' The actress further added, 'The Earth is indeed for all, and that 'all' includes the voiceless beings God placed here alongside us. Justice is not about choosing between lives, but about finding a path where all can live without fear. Let us act with faith, compassion, and foresight, not haste.' The Supreme Court's ruling, passed on Monday, directed local bodies to capture and transfer every stray dog in Delhi-NCR to designated shelters, ensuring none escapes. The verdict has drawn sharp criticism from animal welfare groups, activists and citizens who believe it disregards the natural role strays play in urban life.

Nagpur slaughterhouses and meat shops to remain shut on Independence Day and Janmashtami
The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) on Tuesday announced that all slaughterhouses and meat shops within city limits would remain closed on Independence Day (Friday) and Janmashtami (Saturday). 'All slaughterhouses and meat shops within NMC limits shall remain shut on these days, and action will be taken by the civic flying squad against violators,' stated a notice issued by Rajesh Bhagat, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Solid Waste Management. The notice was issued in accordance with a Maharashtra Government directive, officials said, adding that the decision for the Janmashtami closure of meat shops was approved by the municipal commissioner. On Monday, the Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) ordered the closure of all slaughterhouses and meat shops on August 15. The restriction will apply to all licensed butchers dealing in goats, sheep, chicken, and large animals and remain in force from midnight on August 14. The Opposition has criticised the move, with the NCP (SP)'s Jitendra Awhad asking if residents are being told what to eat on Independence Day and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray calling for the KDMC commissioner's suspension. 'Who is the commissioner to tell us what to eat and what not to? Bridges are collapsing, roads are in terrible shape, and instead of fixing them, the administration is busy banning food,' Thackeray said. Awhad also said he planned to hold a mutton party on Friday in protest against the restrictions. Meanwhile, Vishwanath Bhoir, the Kalyan MLA from the ruling Shiv Sena, sought to defend the decision, arguing that being vegetarian for one day should not be an issue.
