A rabid stray dog attacked nearly 130 people in seven hours in Kalyan, Maharashtra, leaving 25 hospitalised and an 11-year-old girl critically injured. Residents accused KDMC of delayed action and demanded an investigation into the civic dog sterilisation centre
The Supreme Court allowed euthanasia of rabid, incurably ill, or dangerous stray dogs to protect public safety. It directed states to strengthen sterilisation and shelter systems, stressing that citizens have the right to move freely without fear of dog attacks or rabies threats
Nearly 200 residents of Piprauli village in Uttar Pradesh’s Budaun were given anti-rabies vaccines after learning that raita consumed at a funeral was prepared using milk from a buffalo that later died of suspected rabies
The Supreme Court has ordered the relocation of stray dogs from schools, hospitals, railway stations, and highways, mandating sterilisation, vaccination, and safety measures. Authorities must ensure anti-rabies vaccine availability, quarterly inspections, and compliance affidavits to protect citizens’ right to life
