India, Nov. 14 -- D elhi University students turned North Campus into a protest site on Wednesday, rallying against the relocation of community dogs following the Supreme Court's November 7 order directing the removal of strays from public spaces, including college campuses. Students gathered at the Faculty of Arts, masked but determined, to defend the dogs that have long been part of campus life. Miranda House's unofficial "permanent seniors", Berry, Choco Chip, Vanilla, Tara and Jojo, have been nurtured by students who feed them, care for them and ensure timely vaccinations. "To imagine they'll be taken away is terrifying," says Pankhudi Gautam, a fourth-year BA (Hons) Political Science student. "This campus is the only home they know. They're our support system, during exams, stress, and everyday life," she adds. Students held posters reading 'Aawara nahi, humara hai yeh', insisting their protest is not anti-court but pro-compassion. "This order came without consulting students," says Kritika Sharma, a final-year Law Faculty student, adding, "There haven't been severe dog-bite incidents on campus. Shouldn't our voices matter? These dogs are part of our everyday lives." Students urged authorities to adopt a solution-based approach, vaccination drives, sterilisation, safe zones and strengthened ABC programmes. "Taking them away isn't a solution; it's avoidance," says Japneet Kaur, a final-year MA Philosophy student. "We're ready to help, but we need the authorities to meet us halfway," Kaur adds....
