In re: Stray dog menace in Meghalaya
The Meghalaya High Court is hearing a Public Interest Litigation concerning the management of stray dogs in the state. Following directives to form a committee under the Animal Birth Control Rules and acquire shelters, the court mandated on 5 September 2025 that stray dogs be captured, vaccinated, and kept under observation. The High Court previously sought permission from the Supreme Court to retain jurisdiction over the matter as reported on 1 September 2025.
