What is the stray dogs row? The Supreme Court had ordered in November that stray dogs be removed from hospitals schools bus stations and railway stations. The dogs were to be sterilised vaccinated and moved to shelters. Since then the issue has led to several protests across the country. Hundreds of people gathered at Jantar Mantar in Delhi for a protest against the order. Activists and popular musicians like Mohit Chauhan and Rahul Ra joined the march performing songs to raise awareness. Protesters argued that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) failed in proper sterilisation and vaccination programs and that dogs were being punished for administrative lapses.
