Former Union Minister Vijay Goel on Monday welcomed the Supreme Court’s directive to begin moving the stray dogs to shelter homes within eight weeks, calling it an endorsement of his long-standing “No Dogs on Streets” demand.
In a post on X, Mr. Goel said the order would provide relief to children, women, and the elderly, particularly those vulnerable to dog bites. Citing figures, he claimed that around 200 dog bite cases are reported daily in Delhi, and about 500 in the National Capital Region.
