Delhi's Stray Dog Crisis: A Symptom of a Broader Urban Planning Failure The Delhi High Court's decision to take up the issue of stray dogs in the national capital is the latest manifestation of a problem that has been plaguing India's cities for decades.
The suo motu public interest litigation (PIL) initiated by the court highlights the failure of urban planning and governance in addressing the complexities of modern city living.
The Supreme Court's directions on managing stray dog populations, issued in May this year, have been met with inertia from authorities at both the state and local levels.
