Counsel for 8 students of DU Law Faculty: We have taken certain initiatives. We did a census to see how many stray dogs were there. There were 49. Between November 2024 and now, we have sterilized and vaccinated on own expense 28. Rest will also be done. In arts faculty, there's 1 dog that bites. In law centre, there has not been even 1 incident

J Nath: Municipal authorities have done nothing

Counsel: Cattles are a hazard on roads. There's non-implementation there also. Municipal authorities don't have gaushalas. We were able to find out that for dogs, there are only 5 govt owned shelters in the country, capacity of 100 dogs each. Only for sick/injured animals. Dog is released back after treatment. Private centres also limited. To implement the Court's directions, infra does not exist. In the interregnum, institutions can be asked to setup animal law cells, get dogs vaccinated at own expense, and bring back dogs. If admn is tasked, there can be immediate relief.
