Allahabad High Court Intervenes in Stray Dog Problem at SRN Hospital

The Allahabad High Court has directed state law officers to inspect the Swaroop Rani Nehru (SRN) Hospital in response to issues related to stray dogs. The court's directive includes collaboration with hospital and police officials, requiring a report to be submitted within a week for further hearing.

The Allahabad High Court took suo motu cognisance of the stray dog menace at the Swaroop Rani Nehru (SRN) Hospital on Thursday, ordering state law officers to inspect the health facility and report their findings.

This move comes after the court's attention was drawn to a rodent problem at the hospital during a separate hearing. Justices Manoj Kumar Gupta and Manish Kumar Nigam tasked Additional Chief Standing Counsel AK Goyal with the inspection, assisted by Standing Counsel Neeraj Kumar.

The court instructed the medical superintendent to provide full cooperation and the local police to prevent any disruptions. A report is to be submitted within a week, with the next hearing scheduled for August 21.
