Raveena Tandon is celebrating Independence Day just like every other countryman, but her wish this year is a little different from others, as through her post, the actress has asked for freedom for all
and has shared a picture of a stray dog holding our Tricolour high in the sky. This post has come amid high criticism of the Supreme Court’s decision to relocate all the stray dogs to shelters in Delhi-NCR.
While taking to her Instagram, Raveena Tandon shared the post and wrote, “Freedom for all. #delhincrindies. When the authorities fail, there is always a fall guy. Inefficiency/corruption has led to this disaster.”

Raveena Tandon Opposes Supreme Court’s Verdict
In conversation with Hindustan Times, the actress shared, “I feel where the population of indies has increased, it is honestly not these poor dogs to be blamed. It means the vaccination and sterilisation drives aren’t done by local bodies.”
“If that was a success, or the money and infrastructure was set properly, I don’t think we would have reached this point. Local bodies are responsible for the strays in their communities, and sterilisation is the need of the hour,” the actress added.
About the Supreme Court’s Verdict on the Stray Dog Case
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered that all stray dogs in Delhi and the NCR must be caught within eight weeks and kept in special shelters that civic authorities will set up. The court made it clear that once a dog is caught, it will not be released back onto the streets.
A bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan gave these directions while hearing a case taken up on its own about the rising number of stray dog attacks. The judges also said that anyone who tries to stop the authorities from carrying out the capture will face contempt of court action.
The court further ordered that a helpline must be started in Delhi-NCR to report dog bite cases. If a complaint is made, the dog involved must be caught within four hours.
