Nundy (for Neighborhood Woof): In IIT, Delhi we implemented ABC programme on a war footing. No case of rabies has been reported since 3 yrs. Pack aggression virtually eliminated, without relocating dogs or creating permanent detention facilities. We did micro-chipping, geo-tagging...so you know which dogs are peacefully living, which have bitten
Bench: This has been argued, tell us new points
Nundy: We need isolated kennels and transport vehicles for infected dogs. Making sure they are not kept near other animals. Dedicated incinerators for disposal of carcasses of infected dogs - none exist yet. There's an MCD app, let that be properly used. For accurate analysis, we need to treat pet bites and stray dog bites separately. Each RWA is to have different feeding spots. There's growing consensus that ABC Rules have not been implemented. But these Rules work. Given success of IIT model, perhaps in same manner and on a war footing, if the Court designates some institutions and sees what the data is, then we will know. A public education programme can be there.
