Congress leader Rahul Gandhi labelled the Supreme Court’s order to shift Delhi-NCR stray dogs from the streets to shelters as a “step back from science-backed policy" and said that their removals are “cruel and shortsighted".
“The SC’s directive to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR is a step back from decades of humane, science-backed policy. These voiceless souls are not “problems" to be erased. Shelters, sterilisation, vaccination & community care can keep streets safe – without cruelty. Blanket removals are cruel, shortsighted, and strip us of compassion. We can ensure public safety and animal welfare go hand in hand," Rahul Gandhi posted on X.

The court also issued a stern warning against any attempts to block the authorities from carrying out this drive.
Several leaders from various political parties have expressed their opinions on the top court’s order.
