Five months after the Delhi High Court, on a plea by dog lovers, directed the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) to identify spots across the capital for feeding stray canines, the panel finds that the task may not be that easy. Protests against the move reached a new level on Monday.
The Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of a high-rise residential complex for central government employees —M S Apartments on KG Marg, abutting Hyderabad House, Civil Services Society and Andhra Bhawan — has dragged the Board to the court for identifying a feeding spot within the campus “despite protests”.
The RWA virtually questioned the Board’s power to allocate a feeding spot in densely-populated areas.
The court had, on December 18, 2009, asked the Board to find designated places in all colonies in consultation with RWAs, SHOs and animal welfare organisations of each area.
