According to the new rules, any dog that bites a human without provocation will be shifted to an animal care centre. There, it will be kept under a 10-day observation period to monitor its health and behaviour. After this, the dog will undergo sterilisation if required, be fitted with a microchip for easy identification, and eventually released back into the same locality.
The government has also made provisions for dogs that repeatedly show aggression. Such “repeat offenders” will not be released back into public spaces. Instead, they will face lifelong confinement in animal shelters, unless a family or organisation steps forward to adopt them.
While the move aims to address growing safety concerns, it also raises questions about animal rights, long-term shelter capacities, and community involvement. Finding a balance between public safety and compassionate treatment of animals will be the real test of this policy.
