Delhi Schools Appoint Nodal Officers for Stray Dogs

Delhi Schools Appoint Nodal Officers for Stray Dogs

The Delhi government has asked schools to appoint special teachers called nodal officers to handle problems with stray dogs.

These teachers will be the main contact for any issues related to stray dogs and their details will be put up outside the school.

The government says this is important for public safety and follows orders from the Supreme Court.

However, teachers' associations are not happy with this decision.

They say teachers should focus on teaching and that other departments should handle stray dog problems.

They also say that giving teachers extra duties during school time is not fair to the students.

Similar orders have been given in other states like Uttar Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
