Anupama fame Rupali Ganguly OPPOSES SC verdict on stray dog relocation in Delhi-NCR: ‘It’s exile, not…’
On August 11, the Supreme Court ordered to shift stray dogs across Delhi-NCR to shelter homes. Like other celebrities, Anupamaa fame Rupali Ganguly too has shared her opinion.
The Supreme Court’s ruling directing the relocation of all Delhi’s stray dogs to shelter homes drew criticism from television star Rupali Ganguly. She claimed that the strays are an integral part of our culture and religion in addition to serving as our guardians. The actress from Anupamaa posted a statement denouncing the SC decision on her X account on Tuesday. “In our traditions, dogs guard Bhairav Baba’s temple and are fed on Amavasya for blessings. They’ve grown up on our streets, guarding shops, waiting outside our doors, barking away thieves. If we remove them now, we risk losing our protectors before the real dangers arrive, like silencing an alarm before a fire (sic),” she wrote.
“Sending them to far-off shelters isn’t kindness, it’s exile (sic),” she added.
