Supreme Court ne Delhi-NCR ke civic bodies ko adesh diya hai ki wo residential areas me rehne wale sabhi stray dogs ko shelters me shift karein. Yeh order ek bade debate ko janam de raha hai. Janwar premiyon ne is faisle ko “inhumane” bataya hai, jabki kuch log stray dogs ke bachcho aur buzurgo par hamlon ki ghatnayein batakar isse sahi maan rahe hain.

Lekin ab sabse bada sawaal yeh uthta hai ki kya Supreme Court ka yeh order sach me lagu ho payega?

Kitne Stray Dogs Hain Delhi Me?

2009 ke national dog census ke mutabik, Delhi me lagbhag 5.6 lakh stray dogs the. 16 saalon me koi naya survey nahi hua, lekin estimate ke mutabik ab yeh sankhya lagbhag 10 lakh ke aas-paas hai.

Agar har shelter me 500 kutte rakhe jayein, toh 2,000 shelters ki zarurat hogi. Filhaal, Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) keval 20 animal control centres chalata hai, jo ki sirf sterilisation ke baad kutto ki temporary dekhbhal karte hain. Yeh centres agar shelters banaye bhi jayein, toh bhi sirf 5,000 se zyada janwaron ko samet nahi paayenge – jo ki target ka sirf 5 pratishat hai.

Shelters Kahan Hain?

Supreme Court ne Delhi-NCR ke civic bodies ko kaha hai ki stray dogs ko shelters me shift kiya jaye aur streets ko “bilkul stray dogs se mukt” banaya jaye. Civic bodies ko aath hafton me iska update dena hai. Lekin sabse bada challenge yeh hai ki yeh shelters kahaan honge?

Shelter banane ke liye zameen allocate karna, funding aur samay dono chahiye hote hain. Residential areas se door aise jagah dhundhna, jahan shelter ban sake, ek mushkil kaam hai.

MCD ke Standing Committee Chairperson Satya Sharma ne PTI ko bataya, “Hum court ke order ko pura karne ki puri koshish karenge, par shelters banane me samay lagega kyunki land allocation me pareshani hai.”

Kutthon Ko Pakadna Aur Unka Khana

Shelters banane ke alawa bhi bahut si mushkilein hain. MCD ke paas har zone me keval 2-3 vans hain jo kutthon ko pakadne ke liye hain, aur trained handlers ki kami hai. Isliye residential areas se sabhi stray dogs ko pakadna asaan nahi hoga.

Animal lovers bhi is prakar ke attempts ke khilaf ho sakte hain, jo residential areas me tanav badha sakta hai.

Shelters me rojana lakhon kutthon ko khilana ek bada kharcha hoga, jo hazaaron crore rupees me ja sakta hai. Veterinary doctors, animal ambulances, CCTV cameras aur staff ki salary bhi isme shamil hai.

Stray Dogs Se Juddi Samasyaen

Is saal ab tak Delhi me 26,000 dog bite cases report ho chuke hain, aur 49 rabies ke cases bhi samne aaye hain. January se June ke beech 65,000 stray dogs ko sterilise aur vaccinate bhi kiya gaya hai.

Supreme Court ke bench ne kaha, “Hum yeh public interest ke liye kar rahe hain, emotions ko alag rakhein. Streets ko stray dogs se bilkul free banana hoga.”

Dusri Taraf Ka Drishtikon

Animal rights organisations aur dog lovers kehte hain ki yeh order na sirf krur hai balki impractical bhi hai. PETA India ne kaha, “Stray dogs ko forcibly shelters me shift karna scientific nahi hai aur kabhi kaamyaab nahi hua.”

PETA kehta hai ki is tarah ke zor zabardasti se kutthon ki territory fights badhenge, starvation hogi aur wo phir se apne territory me wapas aa jayenge.

Unka maanna hai ki problem sterilisation program me fail hone ka nateeja hai, isliye zor zabardasti ki jagah effective sterilisation hi asli hal hai.

Natija

Supreme Court ka order ek taraf jan hit me hai, toh dusri taraf uska implementation bahut mushkil hai. Funding, shelters ki kami, manpower shortage, aur local resistance jaise kai challenges civic bodies ke samne hai.

Aage ka raasta sterilisation program aur logon ki samajh se hi nikal sakta hai, jisse Delhi ki sadkon ko safe aur stray dogs ko bhi surakshit rakha ja sake.

Delhi ki hawa ka quality Wednesday ko pehli baar iss season mein ‘severe’ category mein chala gaya, jab Air Quality Index (AQI) 418 tak pahunch gaya. Yeh sudden spike pollution level mein health aur safety ko lekar chinta bada raha hai.

Tuesday ko Delhi ka 24-hour average AQI,

jo roz 4 pm per record kiya jata hai, 334 tha, jo pehle se hi kaafi kharab tha. Lekin Wednesday ko subah 9 baje AQI reading 366 thi, jo ‘very poor’ category mein tha aur din mein severe limit ko cross kar gaya.

AQI scale per zero se le kar 50 ‘good’ air quality ko dikhata hai, 51 se 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 se 200 ‘moderate’, 201 se 300 ‘poor’, 301 se 400 ‘very poor’, aur 401 se 450 ‘severe’ category mein aata hai. 450 ke upar readings ‘severe plus’ ka indication deti hai, jo extremely hazardous conditions ko represent karti hai.

Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) ke data ke mutabik, Delhi ke 36 monitoring stations mein se 30 ne ‘severe’ air quality report ki. Ye widespread spike pollution mein vehicles, construction dust, aur pass ke states mein crop burning ke badhte emissions ko dikhata hai.

Winter ke aane se hawa aur bhi kharab hone ka chance hai kyunki thandi temperature aur low wind speed pollution ko ground ke paas hi trap karte hai, jisse air quality aur bhi down ho jati hai. Experts ka kehna hai ki jab tak pollution control ke liye strong steps nahi liye jayenge, Delhi ko bar bar aise air quality issues face karne padenge.

Delhi ke Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ne Tuesday ko apna resignation Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena ko LG Secretariat me submit kar diya. Aam Aadmi Party ke national convenor Kejriwal ke saath unke Cabinet colleagues bhi the, jisme Atishi bhi shamil thi, jo unka successor banne wali hain.

AAP ki legislature party ki meeting ke baad, Atishi ko Delhi ka naya CM chuna gaya. Atishi Delhi ki third woman aur sabse chhoti umr ki CM banne ja rahi hain.

Meeting ke baad reporters se baat karte hue Atishi ne kaha, “Humne nayi sarkar banane ka daawa kiya hai. Main Delhi ke logon ke hiton ko suraksha doongi.” Unhone ye bhi kaha ki Kejriwal ko jhoothe ilzaam lagakar central government ke probe agencies target kar rahi hain.

“Supreme Court ne sirf unhe bail hi nahi di, balki Centre aur unki agencies ko ‘caged parrot’ kahkar un par harsh remarks kiye,” Atishi ne kaha. “Agar koi aur leader hota to CM ka chair nahi chhodta, lekin Kejriwal ne janata ke samne jaane ka faisla kiya. Yeh hum sab ke liye ek dukh ka pal hai,” unhone add kiya.

Atishi ne ye bhi kaha ki logon ne Arvind Kejriwal ko fir se CM banane ka vachan diya hai jab jaldi hi Delhi me assembly elections honge.

Delhi ke minister Gopal Rai ne kaha, “Humne LG ko iss faisle ki jankari de di hai. Atishi ne apna daawa pesh kiya hai sarkar banane ke liye. Humne LG se request ki hai ki oath-taking ceremony ke liye jaldi se ek date decide ki jaye, taki 2 crore logon ka kaam jari rahe.”

Atishi (43) desh ki doosri mahila CM banne ja rahi hain, jo currently West Bengal ki Mamata Banerjee ke baad aayengi. Unse pehle Congress ki Sheila Dikshit aur BJP ki Sushma Swaraj bhi Delhi ki CM rah chuki hain. Sheila Dikshit ne 15 saalon tak CM ka post sambhala, jabki Sushma Swaraj sirf 52 din tak CM rahi thi.

Dikshit jab Delhi ki CM bani thi to unki umr 60 saal thi, aur Swaraj 46 saal ki umar me CM bani thi. Atishi abhi Delhi Cabinet me sabse zyada portfolios sambhal rahi hain, jisme Finance, Water, Education, Public Works, Power, Revenue, Planning, Services, Law, aur Vigilance jaise key departments shamil hain.

AAP leader Atishi ne party ki stability banaye rakhne me important role play kiya, khaaskar tab jab Kejriwal aur dusre senior leaders jail me the. Atishi ne party ke operations ko effectively manage kiya.

Arvind Kejriwal ne AAP legislators ki meeting mein

Atishi ko apna successor propose kiya, aur sabne is faisle ko support kiya. Tuesday evening ko Kejriwal ne Lieutenant Governor Saxena se milke apna resignation diya, aur Atishi ki CM banne ki raah saf ki.

AAP ka ek delegation LG Saxena se milke officially nayi sarkar banane ka daawa karega Atishi ki leadership me, jaisa ki Gopal Rai ne inform kiya.

Delhi ki political history me Sheila Dikshit ek key figure rahi hain, jo longest-serving CM bani rahi aur Congress ko teen baar consecutive electoral victories dilayi.

Sushma Swaraj ne 1998 me chhoti si avadhi ke liye CM ka post sambhala aur baad me national politics par focus kiya.

India ki aur bhi noteworthy female CMs me Jammu & Kashmir ki Mehbooba Mufti, Uttar Pradesh ki Mayawati, Bihar ki Rabri Devi, aur Tamil Nadu ki Jayalalithaa shamil hain.

Supreme Court ne Arvind Kejriwal ko bail de di hai, jo corruption case mein CBI dwara arrest hue the, excise policy scam se juda. Supreme Court ki 2 judge bench, Justices Surya Kant aur Ujjal Bhuyan ne 5 September ko sunvayi ke baad, aaj apna faisla sunaya. Dono ne Kejriwal ko bail dene ka faisla liya.

Arvind Kejriwal ko 26 June, 2024

ko CBI ne formally arrest kiya tha jab wo Enforcement Directorate (ED) ki custody mein the, money laundering ke maamle mein, jo excise policy scam se juda hua hai. Court ne Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ke chief ko bail par 10 lakh rupees ka bond aur do surety mangi.

Court ne Kejriwal ko case ke merits par public comments se bachne ko kaha. Court ka kehna tha ki case ki trial jaldi complete hone ki sambhavna kam hai aur Kejriwal ke taraf se kisi tarah ka tampering hone ka darr nahin hai.

Judges ne CBI ke arrest par apne vichar diye. Justice Surya Kant ne kaha CBI ka arrest legal tha, jabki Justice Bhuyan ne is baat se asahmati dikhayi aur kaha ki CBI ne sirf Kejriwal ko ED case mein bail undermind karne ke liye arrest kiya.

Justice Bhuyan ne CBI ke actions ko criticize karte hue kaha ki 22 mahine ke baad, jab Kejriwal ED case mein release hone waale the, tabhi CBI ne arrest kiya, jo ‘unjustified’ tha. Unhone kaha, “Kejriwal ko ED case mein bail mil chuki hai, toh unka CBI dwara aur detention bilkul galat hai.”

Bhuyan ne CBI ko apni credibility sabit karne ki baat kahi aur kaha ki sirf evasive replies dena arrest ka base nahin ho sakta. Non-cooperation self-incrimination ka matlab nahin hai.

Court ne kaha ki ED case mein jo conditions lagayi gayi thi, wahi is case mein bhi lagu hongi, par Justice Bhuyan ne is par apni reservations rakhi ki Kejriwal ko CM office se door rakha gaya aur unhe files sign karne ki anumati nahin di gayi.

Kejriwal ko SC ne pehle hi 12 July ko bail de di thi ED case mein jo excise policy scam se juda hai. Kejriwal ne SC mein do petitions file ki thi, apne arrest aur bail denial ke khilaf, jo Delhi High Court ke faisle ko challenge karti thi.

Kejriwal ke vakil, Abhishek Manu Singhvi ne arrest ko ‘illegal’ aur ‘arbitrary’ batate hue kaha tha ki arrest ke liye kuch safeguards hone chahiye, lekin ASG SV Raju ne is baat ka virodh kiya aur kaha ki case ko alag tarike se treat nahin karna chahiye sirf isliye kyunki Kejriwal ek influential aadmi hain.

CBI ne kaha ki Kejriwal, jo ek prominent politician hain, witness ko influence kar sakte hain aur evidence ko tamper karne ka bhi khatra hai.

Excise policy ko 2022 mein scrap kar diya gaya jab Delhi Lieutenant Governor ne alleged irregularities ke liye CBI probe order kiya. CBI aur ED ka kehna hai ki policy ko modify karne mein irregularities thi aur kuch license holders ko undue favour diya gaya.

Is bail order ke baad, Kejriwal ka case ab agle stages par jayega jab tak trial complete nahi hoti, aur filhaal unhe relief mil gayi hai.

Delhi aur North India ke kai states mein Wednesday ko halki tremors mehsoos ki gayi jab Pakistan mein 5.8 magnitude ka earthquake aya. Ye quake Karor ke southwest mein 25 kilometres door centre kiya gaya aur 33 kilometres ki depth par tha. Major cities jaise Islamabad aur Lahore mein bhi tremors ko mehsoos kiya gaya.

India ke states jaise Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, aur Jammu & Kashmir ke logon ne bhi ye tremors mehsoos kiye, jo Afghanistan tak pahunche. Earthquake ke baad logon ne apne homes aur offices se bahar aana zaroori samjha.

Yeh earthquake pichle do hafte mein

doosri baar Delhi aur aas-paas ke regions mein seismic activity record hui hai. Pehle 29 August ko 5.7 magnitude ka earthquake Afghanistan mein 255 kilometres ki gehraayi mein record hua tha.

Delhi ka geographical location isko seismically active zone mein rakhata hai, Himalayas ke paas hone ke wajah se ye area earthquakes ke liye sensitive mana jata hai. Earthquake experts bhi keh rahe hain ki future mein aur bhi aise tremors dekhne ko mil sakte hain.
