Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has voiced his concerns regarding the Supreme Court’s recent order mandating the relocation of stray dogs from Delhi’s streets. He described the order as a ‘flaw in our system,’ highlighting potential inefficiencies and suggesting a more effective approach.

Instead of focusing solely on relocation, Tharoor advocates for redirecting funds allocated to this initiative towards established NGOs specializing in animal welfare. He believes this alternative would provide a more humane and sustainable solution to the problem of stray dogs in Delhi. His argument centers on the expertise and existing infrastructure of these organizations, suggesting they are better equipped to manage the situation effectively.

Tharoor’s statement has sparked debate regarding the practicality and ethical considerations of the Supreme Court’s order. The discussion now revolves around whether relocation is the most humane and cost-effective method, or if channeling resources to experienced NGOs would yield better results for both the animals and the city’s resources. The controversy highlights the ongoing challenges in addressing the complex issue of stray animal populations in urban environments.
