Animal lovers in Siliguri, West Bengal staged a protest against the Supreme Court order that directed all stray dogs to be transferred to Shelter Homes within eight weeks in Delhi-NCR.

NGOs and Animal Rights Activists demanded waxing, sterilization and strengthening of shelter facilities instead of the move. He says that forcibly capturing and capturing dogs is against the co-existence of humans and animals and this will also adversely affect the urban environment.
