00:00CODE has a good order. It's very balanced.

00:05In addition, we need to see both dogs.

00:10Both dogs are the same as the dog lovers,

00:13and the dogs are the same.

00:18So, today, it's a very balanced order.

00:21It's a good order.

00:23They said this.

00:24The biggest thing is that they involved all states.

00:27Suomoto

00:29It's not Delhi.

00:31This will cover all the states.

00:34That's a very thoughtful remark that they have made,

00:39the observation that they have made.

00:41Then, a modification they have done.

00:43All the matters which are pending in all different courts,

00:47in different states,

00:49will all be brought to the Honorable Supreme Court.

00:53So, whatever matters with regard to dog issues,

00:56which is an excellent order, you know.

00:57Then, the dogs are the same as the judgment of Suomoto.

01:11They have been put in the abeance.

01:16But not all, they have very balanced, in a very balanced manner.

01:21They have said that the aggressive dogs,

01:23the regular dogs,

01:26the aggressive dogs,

01:29will be brought to the ponds.

01:31They will have a little bit of a problem.

01:33Because, how do they identify them?

01:35MCD will take everyone and take them and take them.

01:37So, that we have to, I think, as dog lovers,

01:41we need to take care of that, you know.

01:43So, that we have to, I think, as dog lovers,

01:45we need to take care of that, you know.

01:47So, I was not very happy with that portion of the order.

01:53But, otherwise, the rabid dogs, aggressive dogs,

01:57according to them,

01:59they will take to the ponds or animal shelters.

02:02Or, animal shelters or whatever.

02:03Other dogs will be released?

02:04Released.

02:05But, the other dogs, yes.

02:07So, there are so many dogs, you know, in everywhere.

02:10Like, we have 10 lakhs of dogs.

02:13Overall, do you feel it's a relief for the dog lovers?

02:14I think it is, it is for the dog lovers.

02:16It's a beautiful, beautiful order.

02:18Very balanced.

02:20And, for feeding areas,

02:22we have said that MCD will make a feeding spot.

02:26And, people will not be allowed to, you know,

02:29give food on the streets.

02:31So, that will, that is very important.

02:34Also, that will, that is very important.

02:35Also, that when we put food on the streets,

02:38as dog lovers,

02:39they will do a little harm to us.

02:42Because, the children can attack.

02:44You know, if someone is passing somewhere,

02:46or something else,

02:47and they have a little insecurity,

02:48that I don't want to remove food here.

02:50So, the children can be a little aggressive.

02:53So, that's okay.

02:54We are okay with that portion of the order.

02:56The court directly ordered the relief of the dog,

03:00which it hasn't.

03:01They are saying that they will sterilize them first,

03:03and then...

03:04And, yes.

03:05Sab se badi baat toh yei hai ki,

03:07relocation, a big no-no.

03:09A big no-no to relocation.

03:11So, they have said that,

03:13whichever dogs will be sterilized,

03:15will be neutered,

03:17will be brought back to the same place

03:19from where they have been picked up.

03:21So, that is what the ABC rules also says.

03:24So, we are adhering to the ABC rules.

03:27So, effective implementation of the ABC rules,

03:31is very very important,

03:32which I have been harping upon since 2016.

03:37I have got too bad in those people.

03:39I have got a lot of worry.

03:40See, those NGOs have...

03:44I don't understand that much,

03:47but, I'm sure people in that particular area

03:48who have come from here today,

03:52they have a little burden on them.

03:5425,000 they'll have to pay, you know, maybe as interveners or whatever.

04:00And that will be utilized to 25,000 to 2 lakhs.

04:03So that amount will be utilized for all the constructing the shelter houses

04:08in case, you know, we are, for the aggressive and for the rabid dogs, you know.

04:13So, and no individual, no NGO will be, in case, you know,

04:21they object or obstruct, not object, but obstruct in this kind of where,

04:28you know, people are, the MCD is doing, trying to do their jobs by sterilizing

04:33and all that.

04:34They have to be, they have to be dealt with severely, you know.

04:38So that is also another one, that point that they have made.

04:42And so ultimately what they have said is the effective implementation

04:49of the ABC rules, which I'm so happy with,

04:52because that was not happening for years now.

04:54And that is the reason I had filed RTI in 2016, you know,

04:58and I'm fighting, struggling since 2016.

05:01High court may gya, high court may kuch nai wa,

05:03yaha pa aayi ho mein, ab issue notice ho gya.

05:05So we are hoping for a good order in that also.

05:07So I think this is the only solution to this whole issue of the community animals,

05:12community dogs.

05:21So,

05:22you know.

05:23You know,

05:25you know,

05:26you know,

05:28your community animals have to be pais men.

05:34You know,

05:34you know,

05:37you know,

05:37you know.

05:38They're not getting off to them.

05:41Right.

05:42You know,

05:42the good order of them is going to begin today.
