Delhi Education Minister Denies Teachers' Role in Stray Dog Management
The Delhi Education Minister, Ashish Sood, said that teachers are not being asked to take care of stray dogs around schools.
He explained that the government has not given any special tasks to teachers regarding this issue.

The government has only asked schools to appoint special officers to deal with stray dogs, following a Supreme Court order.
The AAP, however, insists that the government is misinforming the public and that teachers are indeed being diverted for non-teaching duties.
The AAP also criticized the BJP for ruining the education system in Delhi.
