"I welcome the Supreme Court’s revised directions on stray dogs, as it marks a progressive step toward balancing animal welfare and public safety. The approach is both compassionate and rooted in scientific reasoning," Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X.

The incident took place hours after the Supreme Court on Friday modified its August 11 order, which ordered the civic bodies and authorities in Delhi-NCR to lock up all stray dogs.

The woman was allegedly assaulted and slapped eight times in around 40 seconds by a man for feeding stray dogs in a Ghaziabad complex.

This sparked a massive overnight protest outside a municipal dog sterilisation centre, where protesters alleged that strays were being killed inside the facility instead of being sterilised, reported Times Now.

The tiny carcasses were discovered during a routine beach survey by the Beaches Sea Turtle Patrol in Atlantic Beach, just east of Jacksonville.

The woman, Yashika Shukla, is a resident of Ghaziabad and was feeding the dogs near an apartment complex in the National Capital region.

The Supreme Court directed that stray dogs in Delhi-NCR must be released after sterilisation and immunisation. In Bihar, voters excluded from draft rolls can now apply online using Aadhaar. A

MCD has begun the process of identifying points for designating them as feeding areas for stray dogs. Meanwhile, Resident Welfare Associations have said that SC's directive on designated feeding points in every locality is ‘impractical’.
