SC bars feeding of stray dogs on streets, asks civic bodies to create dedicated spaces for it
NEW DELHI: Feeding of stray dogs will not be permitted on streets, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled as it directed the municipal authorities of Delhi-NCR to create dedicated spaces for it. A three-judge special bench headed by Justice Vikram Nath said the feeding areas have to be identified keeping in view the population and concentration of stray dogs in a particular municipal ward. Under no conditions shall the feeding of stray dogs on the streets be permitted, the bench, also comprising Justices Sandeep Mehta and N V Anjaria, said. The top court further directed for the installation of notice boards near designated feeding areas, specifying the area was meant to feed stray dogs. Persons found feeding stray dogs on the streets would be liable to be proceeded with under relevant legal framework. The aforesaid directions are being issued in view of the reports regarding untoward incidents caused by unregulated feeding of stray dogs and to ensure that practice of feeding dogs on the roads and in public places is eliminated as the said practice creates great difficulties for the common man walking on the streets, it added. Each municipal authority was also ordered to create a dedicated helpline for reporting incidents of violation of the directions. The top court ordered appropriate measures against the individual or organisation concerned once complaints were received on the helpline. The bench modified the apex court's August 11 direction prohibiting release of stray dogs from dog shelters in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), and said the picked up canines should be sterilised, vaccinated and released back in the same area. The bench, however, said municipal authorities shall continue to comply with the direction asking them to start picking up and rounding stray dogs from all localities of Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram. The apex court said the August 11 direction prohibiting the release of picked up stray dogs shall be kept in abeyance for the time being. The dogs that are picked up shall be sterilised, dewormed, vaccinated and released back in the same area from which they were picked up, it said. The bench clarified this relocation shall not apply to dogs infected with rabies or suspected to be infected with rabies and those that display aggressive behaviour. The top court passed the order on the interim prayer seeking a stay on some of the directions passed on August 11 by a two-judge bench. The bench delivered its order on Friday in a suo motu case initiated on July 28 over a media report on stray dog bites leading to rabies, particularly among children, in the national capital. Widespread protests were reported across the country following the apex court's August 11 order. Later, the matter came up for hearing on August 14 before a three-judge special bench which observed the whole problem of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR was a result of the inaction of local authorities which did othing in implementing the Animal Birth Control Rules on sterilisation and immunisation of canines.

UP govt sets up panel to chart course for utilising unused tract of land in NCR
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government has set up a committee to devise a strategy for utilising vast tracts of land lying unused under Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authorities (Yeida), said official sources. As per the state government sources, around four lakh hectares of land has been notified under the three authorities, but the master plans cover only about 150,000 hectares, with just 40,000 hectares having actually been acquired. The state government's move aims at speeding up the industrial growth, drawing investment, and creating jobs by making land availability smoother and more predictable for investors. As a result, the state government has set up a six-member panel, headed by the additional chief secretary of planning department, which has been entrusted with the task to submit its recommendations within 15 days. The CEO of Invest UP, the nodal body dealing with investments, will serve as the member secretary. According to a state government official, the committee would examine best practices adopted by industrial development authorities in other states. It will analyse notified, master plan, and acquired land data of Noida, Greater Noida, Yeida, and other bodies before preparing a strategy for identifying notified areas that currently remain trapped in a regulatory limbo, the official added. According to Chief Secretary SP Goyal, the move is in line with the state's larger industrial roadmap. The Chief Secretary said that in order to speed up industrial growth in the state attracting larger investments, the state government was providing comprehensive support and incentives under the Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy, 2022, along with over 30 sector-specific policies. The chief secretary also underlined the hardships faced by landowners in notified regions. He said that it would take years to cover the entire notified area if the land acquisition continued on the current pace. It would leave large stretches of land undeveloped for long.
Sharda University administration booked after B.Tech student died by suicide citing bullying, stress
LUCKNOW: Sharda University appears to be sailing in troubled waters. While the institution has yet to clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged death by suicide of second-year BDS student Jyoti Sharma, 21, in mid-July, reportedly due to harassment by faculty members, another tragedy has struck. A B.Tech student, 24, died by suicide on the night of 15 August in a private hostel in Knowledge Park, barely two kilometres from the campus. According to sources, police registered a case of abetment to suicide against the Sharda University administration and unidentified individuals in connection with the death. In a suicide note recovered from the possession of the deceased, identified as Shivam Dey, 24, a native of Purnia district in Bihar, he allegedly described himself as useless and wrote that he could no longer bear the stress. The first information report (FIR) also alleged that the deceased told his parents that classmates bullied him over failing the exam. On Sunday, two days after the incident, Greater Noida police registered a case under Section 306 (abetment to suicide) against the administration of Sharda University and unidentified individuals, on the complaint of the students father, who alleged mismanagement. The college did not inform us that my son was not attending classes despite accepting tuition fees for the past two years, reads the FIR. Meanwhile, sources claimed that as per the initial probe, the student had enrolled in the universitys B.Tech course in 2022 but stopped attending classes after failing his second-year exams. The student received a supplementary exam in the first year. He passed the supplementary exam and was admitted to the second year. But after another supplementary exam in the second year (2023), this time he failed in it and then he stopped attending classes since 2023, said Sharda Universitys Director (Public Relations), Dr Ajit Kumar. We were informed that the student concerned had created fake mark sheets from Sharda University and sent them to his parents, claiming he was enrolled and studying. As he had a login ID for the college, his parents continued sending fees to the universitys account. We sent multiple messages about his absence and re-admission to the college, but it was revealed that he had provided his personal number, where the university sent messages, Kumar said. In the last two years, his parents deposited over Rs 2.5 lakh in the universitys account. We asked them to provide bank details to return the additional money, added Kumar, questioning how someone could be considered part of the university when he had left the course without providing any information. The university, meanwhile, stated that had the parents contacted them directly, they would have been informed about the additional fees and it would have been refunded without delay. With more than 20,000 students enrolled, it was challenging to monitor each students login details for fee deposits, the administration claimed. Police investigations, however, revealed clear lapses on the part of the college, as the administration allegedly continued to accept fees without informing the parents that the student had stopped attending classes. Evidence provided by the family suggests that they deposited all semester fees without delay. If the student provided an incorrect number at the time of admission, the college should have cross-verified it, said Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) (Greater Noida) Vivek Ranjan Rai.
