Delhi Police breaks up India Gate protest over Supreme Court’s round up stray dogs order
The decision was taken after the Supreme Court issued an order to round up all stray dogs in the capital. The move was taken because of concerns over the safety of the dogs. The order was issued after a number of stray dogs were found dead in the city.
The police, citing security concerns, did not allow the protest to take place and later filed a First Information Report against the people who had arrived for the demonstration.

Police officials said that the primary reason for the action against the protesters was heightened security concerns in the run-up to Friday’s Independence Day. People are barred from congregating at the India Gate due to security reasons, officials said.
The incident followed the Supreme Court giving numerous directives to Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) civic bodies on the issue of stray dogs. One of the instructed steps was to round up the stray dogs, sterilise them and keep them at shelter homes.
The directives were given after the top court took note of a rise in rabies cases and deaths, particularly amongst children and the elderly, due to stray dog bites in and around Delhi.
