Supreme Court Won't Urgently Hear Stray Dog Removal Plea
The Supreme Court is not immediately reviewing a rule about taking away aggressive stray dogs in Delhi.
The rule comes from the city government, the MCD.
The rule says to catch dogs that bite people, especially near schools and hospitals.
Some people who like dogs are against the rule, saying it misunderstands what the court said earlier.
The court's decision means the city's rule can still be used for now.
Supreme Court denied urgent hearing on plea against Delhi stray dog removal.
The plea challenged the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) circular.
MCD's circular directed removal of aggressive stray dogs from public areas.
The circular followed a Supreme Court judgment on stray dog issues.
Dog activists opposed the circular, claiming it misinterpreted the court's order.
