After all the protests and backlashes over the Supreme Court’s decision on the relocation of street dogs from the streets of Delhi, the Supreme Court on Friday modified its earlier order of August 11. The revised order regarding the management of stray dogs in Delhi and NCR (National Capital Region) directs that the animals that have been kept in captivity will be released back into the same area after sterilisation and immunisation.

As reported by news agency ANI, the apex court has clarified that stray dogs infected with rabies or showing aggressive behaviour will not be released back and will be kept separately to ensure the safety of the citizens. 

The court, while issuing the order, also stated that "stray dogs will be released back to the same area after sterilisation and immunisation, except those infected with rabies or exhibiting aggressive behaviour," as cited by news agency ANI.
