Adivi Sesh Expresses Concern Over Supreme Court’s Order On Delhi-NCR Stray Dogs, Writes To Chief Justice

Adivi Sesh has penned an earnest letter to the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India and the Chief Minister of Delhi, urging an immediate reconsideration of the directive for mass confinement of street dogs in the National Capital Region. Sesh’s appeal emphasises that sterilised and vaccinated dogs should be allowed to remain in their own territories, in line with existing animal welfare laws. He calls for a humane, effective, and lawful approach to managing the city’s stray dog population rather than resorting to blanket confinement measures.

Adivi Sesh appeals to Chief Justice of India

In his letter, Sesh outlines alternative solutions that balance public safety with compassion for animals. Speaking on his appeal, the Major actor said, “As a citizen who believes in both the letter and spirit of the law, I am deeply concerned about the recent directive for mass confinement of street dogs in Delhi NCR. Such a measure not only contravenes our legal obligations but also goes against the compassionate values that India has always stood for.”

Sesh further added, “Stray dogs are a part of our urban ecosystem. When sterilised and vaccinated, they are not a threat—they are community members who deserve dignity. Mass confinement is neither a sustainable solution nor a humane one; it is a short-term reaction to a long-term challenge.”

He continued, “We have lawful, proven alternatives: sterilisation and vaccination drives, better waste management to cut uncontrolled food sources, empowering community caretakers, and enforcing strict penalties for cruelty and abandonment. By focusing on these steps, we can ensure the safety of both humans and animals, and uphold the moral and legal responsibilities we owe to our voiceless companions.”

Sesh concluded, “I sincerely urge the Hon’ble Court and the Government of Delhi to reconsider this directive. Let us choose empathy over expediency, and solutions over suppression.”

Supreme Court’s decision

The Supreme Court recently declared that stray dogs in Delhi-NCR will be picked up within eight weeks and housed in dedicated dog shelters to be set up by the concerned authorities. The Supreme Court further instructed municipal bodies and other agencies to work in coordination to create adequate shelter facilities so that the canines can be removed from public spaces. Emphasising that children and infants should not fall prey to stray dogs, action would be taken against those who go against the decision.
