Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Standing Committee chairperson Satya Sharma has instructed officials to identify three to four designated feeding locations in every ward, in consultation with local councillors, where stray dogs can be fed in a controlled manner.
With over 250 wards in the Capital, more than 1,000 feeding points are expected to be created, according to an official statement.
Calling the matter urgent, Ms. Sharma directed Deputy Commissioners of all 12 MCD zones to submit detailed action reports within a week. The move follows a Supreme Court order of August 22, which mandated authorities to catch, sterilise, and vaccinate stray dogs before releasing them back to their original areas.
The court also banned public feeding and recommended the creation of feeding zones to prevent littering and reduce conflicts, as strays often form aggressive packs when fed randomly.
