Supreme Court Issues Directives on Stray Animals
In a significant move, the Supreme Court of India has issued directives for the removal of stray dogs from institutional areas and cattle from national highways. This decision, announced on November 7, 2025, aims to address growing public safety concerns and improve traffic management on key roadways across the country.
Massive Disruption at Delhi's IGI Airport
In unrelated but simultaneous news, air travel faced major hurdles as a technical snag at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport led to widespread delays. Reports confirmed that over 300 flights were affected, causing significant inconvenience to thousands of passengers. The issue, which emerged on the same day, created a ripple effect, disrupting schedules for several hours.
Implications and Next Steps
The Supreme Court's order is expected to have far-reaching consequences for local municipal bodies and animal control agencies, who must now formulate and execute plans for the safe and humane relocation of the animals. Meanwhile, authorities at IGI Airport are working to resolve the technical fault and normalize flight operations, with passenger assistance being a top priority.
