Supreme Court Blames Local Authorities on Stray Dog Issue
The Supreme Court is looking into the problem of stray dogs in the area around Delhi.
The judges said the main problem is that local officials haven't done their job.
Another group of judges previously said stray dogs should be moved to shelters.
Now, the court is reviewing this decision.
The court listened to lawyers on both sides and is deciding what to do.
The court pointed out that the government makes rules, but nothing gets done to enforce them.
