cases against panchayat officials-first time in Kerala

aapn

Let this be an eye-opener to all the arrogant and law-evading municipal

officials of Kerala where stray dogs were rounded up and butchered with

impunity.

 

The first class judicial magistrate of Peermade in Idukki district has

asked the police to register cases against the Panchayat Secretary and

the dog catcher- of Vandipperyar Panchayat -who were the first and the

second accused in the case where 3510 stray dogs were given lethal

injections and slaughtered.

 

The Idukki SPCA after receiving the required informations through the

Right of Information Act filed the case and got the orders from the

court.

The court on special request from Idukki SPCA has asked the police to

consider the 3510 crimes not as a single one but register 3510 separate

cases.

 

This is the first time in the history of Kerala that a judicial Court

orders action against panchayat officials for killing stray dogs.

 

The most important aspect of this case is that now the

Municipal/Panchayat heads are a worried lot and at least a couple of

thousand of dog's lives are saved-for the time being.
