#WATCH | Delhi | "It is not an implementable order, all it is going to do is create a law and order situation. Govt has never made a govt shelter, all shelters are run privately. The judgement was given in anger...," says Animal rights activist & BJP leader, Maneka Gandhi, over SC order on stray dogs in Delhi-NCR.

VIDEO | Animal Rights Activist Maneka Gandhi spoke on the Supreme Court's order to remove all stray dogs from the Delhi-NCR streets within 8 weeks. She says, "This judgment is a suo motu case, which means nobody complained; the judge took it up on his own. We were expecting something like this anyway. Now, if this order is to be followed, it would mean rounding up three lakh dogs in Delhi and placing them in centres. The Delhi government would need to find 1,000–2,000 centres, as too many dogs together would fight. They would first need land, then construct facilities within eight weeks, costing at least Rs 4-5 crore, with caretakers, feeders, and watchmen to prevent escapes. This judgment seems to lack rational thought and stems from anger. Strangely, the order is based on a newspaper report of a child killed by dogs, but the family has confirmed the child died of meningitis."

State Bank of India – one of the early symbols of post-independence progress. 🇮🇳

This abandoned SBI building, once a bustling hub of transactions in Dharamshala, now stands deserted.

From quirky chai stalls to unique fast food joints, names are getting more interesting by the day.

I’m rooting for 'Berozgar Engineer' to go viral someday! 🙌

Found this gem in Indore. 😎

Single-use plastic is banned in Himachal Pradesh and here's how I carried goods home every time during my stay in #Dharamshala – traditional and eco-friendly! 🌿

One of the many reasons this city is impressively clean and green.

We had the privilege of facilitating a cleft awareness session at the CRE Program organized by NCERT and NIEPID on November 28, 2024.

The session aimed to sensitize and educate Special Educators from across India about clefts. It included a presentation showcasing Smile Train's impactful work worldwide, followed by an introduction to our recently launched picture book “I Smile Like a Song”.

By equipping educators with the knowledge and resources they need, we hope to create a more inclusive and compassionate environment for every child born with a cleft.

@Probasibangali Empathy is grossly missing in today’s leadership! Targets and numbers are claiming so many lives every year, yet we don’t introspect…

Who are these Uber drivers talking to? Whether it’s a quick 20-minute ride or a 190-minute marathon, they’re glued to their phones always!

I’m getting a bit jealous—talk about round the clock available friends on speed dial!

3:30 PM in Gurgaon!

Seasonal norms are out of sync with unseasonal rain. Even those solar lights seem confused where to lit up or wait a bir longer. 🤔

@Probasibangali Nothing beats the joy of 'Telebhaja' on a rainy day! The crispy bites paired with a hot cup of tea —pure bliss! 🌧️☕
