Dogs picked up for sterilisation deserve dignity, compassion, and humane handling.

We respectfully urge the authorities to ensure that all dog-catching staff are properly trained in animal welfare and humane capture techniques. These voiceless souls should never be subjected to fear, pain, or rough treatment while being taken for sterilisation or vaccination.

If a dog is being picked up for a welfare programme, let it be done with kindness and respect. Every animal deserves to be handled gently and safely.

Sterilisation and vaccination are essential for both animal welfare and community well-being, but the process must remain humane at every step. Let us set an example of compassion and responsible care rather than causing unnecessary suffering.

A truly progressive society is measured by how it treats those who cannot speak for themselves.

Let's work together to ensure that every dog is treated with dignity, kindness, and respect.

🚨 JUSTICE FOR PAYAL 🚨

A woman was allegedly assaulted inside her own home.

Why?

Because she fed hungry community dogs.

For years, Payal has quietly cared for a handful of street animals in her locality. She gave them food. She gave them water. She gave them compassion.

Today, she is the one seeking protection.

No matter where anyone stands on the issue of street animals, violence against a woman can NEVER be justified.

No citizen should be assaulted for showing kindness.

No feeder should have to fear for their life for caring for animals.

Mumbai, where are you?

Where are the activists?

Where are the citizens?

Where are the voices that speak up when injustice happens?

Today it is Payal.

Tomorrow it could be any feeder, any rescuer, any compassionate citizen.

We demand:

✅ A fair and impartial investigation
✅ Protection for Payal and her family
✅ Accountability for violence against women
✅ Protection for animal feeders acting within the law

If you believe compassion is not a crime:

📢 SHARE THIS VIDEO

📢 TAG THE AUTHORITIES

📢 TAG ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS

📢 TAG MEDIA HOUSES

📢 STAND WITH PAYAL

Silence helps injustice.

Your voice can help change that.

A stray dog saves the lives of 30 children

This is what paid media won’t tell you.

In Dhirikula village of Mayurbhanj, Odisha, a stray dog named Kali gave her life to save more than 30 school children. A poisonous snake was crawling toward children sitting outside their school. Kali sensed the danger and attacked the snake immediately. She killed it — but the snake bit her during the fight. She died soon after.

Villagers performed her last rites and called her the protector of their children.

While television studios and agenda-driven “experts” keep screaming about a so-called dog menace, they never show stories like this — because heroism from a stray dog doesn’t fit their nefarious dog hate propaganda.

A street dog saw danger, acted instantly, and died protecting human children.

In the meantime the so called humans are burning alive puppies

In Ladakh, glacial ponds and natural ice rinks are the bedrock for a thriving winter sports culture for sports including ice hockey. However, climate change is threatening this culture. Warmer winters, shrinking glaciers, and shorter seasons are reducing opportunities for athletes to play in natural surfaces as much as they normally would.

While artificial rinks and man-made infrastructure offers solutions, the larger question of climate change has left the region in a cloud of uncertainty. @Neeladri_27 explores on the sidelines of the @royalenfield Super League in Leh➡️ https://t.co/OXfncOlivf

🎙 Sportstar Editor Ayon Sengupta explains the driving vision behind Sportstar's Conclave caravan and what the team hopes the discussions here bring about in the states in focus:

🗣 "I believe, all of us together – representatives of state governments, sports administrators, coaches, former and current players, and the media – can brainstorm, and understand the current sporting ecosystem in this part of India. We hope these conversations will also help in further improving the system and help us in producing champions in every sport.

Based on today’s conversations and ground surveys, KPMG, our knowledge partner, and Sportstar will present a whitepaper on Sports Development to the State government and corporates in the state."
