The Punjab and Haryana High Court has called for sector-wise details of dogs. A division bench of the High Court has asked the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation to not only specify the number of dogs, but also provide details of sterilization operations carried out. The bench also directed the submission of a detailed affidavit in this regard.
The directions came soon after advocate Tanu Bedi came out with certain suggestions before the division bench of Justice Ajay Kumar Mittal and Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal during the hearing of “Save Sukhna” case.
Appearing before the bench as amicus curiae or a friend of the court, Tanu had earlier suggested carrying out the dogs’ sterilization process properly and area-wise.
She also recommended immediate removal of exposed garbage across the city and shelter homes for dogs.
Referring to the presence of dogs at Sukhna Lake, Bedi recommended carrying out the process of counting all dogs before ensuring they were sterilized and vaccinated. She also recommended putting special marks on them and preventing the strewing of garbage at and near the lake.
Tanu asserted that caregivers from animal organizations were required to be encouraged and invited to adopt the dogs at the lake and feed them at the demarcated place. Other suggestions included ensuring their wellbeing; imparting occasional lessons to the visitors for dealing with dogs at the lake and studying the dog behavior and help in reducing aggressiveness.
