Supreme Court Orders Removal of Stray Dogs from Public Premises

Citing an "alarming rise" in dog bite incidents, the Supreme Court has ordered the removal of stray dogs from public premises like schools, hospitals, and railway stations. The court directed local authorities to place the dogs in designated shelters after vaccination and sterilization, and not release them back into the same areas. The bench also mandated the fencing of government premises and the appointment of nodal officers to ensure compliance, aiming to enhance public safety across the country.
