Petition Against GHMC for Illegal Dog Detention

A man named Adulapuram Goutham, who works to prevent animal cruelty, has filed a complaint in the Telangana High Court.

He says the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is unfairly catching and keeping healthy dogs in shelters without checking if they are sick or dangerous.

This is against the law and guidelines from the Supreme Court.

A woman named Merlin Francis saw a dog being taken away, which led to this complaint.

The shelters are supposed to be for treating and vaccinating dogs, but GHMC is using them to keep dogs locked up.

This has caused many problems, like overcrowding and dogs dying.

The court will decide what to do next.
