राजनगर एक्सटेंशन में आज होने जा रही डॉग लवर्स की रैली पुलिस परमिशन न मिलने के चलते रद्द कर दी गई है। आयोजकों का कहना है कि परमिशन मिलते ही रैली फिर से आयोजित की जाएगी, जबकि स्थानीय रेजिडेंट्स इस रैली के सख्त खिलाफ हैं। हालात को देखते हुए आने वाले समय में टकराव की स्थिति बन सकती है।

Ghaziabad: Residents of Raj Nagar Extension are gearing up for a rally organized by the Dog Lovers Group in response to the recent court orders that have stirred concerns among pet owners. Scheduled for August 18 at 3:00 PM, the rally will commence in front of River Heights Society and is expected to draw a significant number of participants who wish to voice their dissent. The organizers have stated that the purpose of the rally is to send a strong and unified message that dog owners and animal lovers will continue to fight for the rights and safety of their pets. According to the group, the court orders have created anxiety in the community, and this collective demonstration is intended to highlight their resolve and solidarity.
The organizers—Honey, Rita, and Shraddha—have reached out to residents and dog lovers across the area, urging them to actively participate and make the movement stronger. They emphasize that the safety and well-being of dogs should remain a priority and that standing together is essential to safeguard these rights. For them, beyond being an act of protest, the rally is also a statement of compassion and responsibility toward animals who often rely on humans for care and protection.
However, there is also a counterview among residents who believe that the rising number of stray dogs poses a serious safety concern. Highlighting this perspective, Deepanshu Mittal, a resident of Raj Nagar Extension, expressed on a social media group, “बहुत ही दुःखद 😢 गाजियाबाद के कविनगर में तैनात महिला दरोगा रिचा सचान की सड़क हादसे में देर रात मौत। 2023 बैच की रिचा कानपुर नगर की रहने वाली थीं, जो रात में ड्यूटी से स्कूटी से जा रही थीं, सड़क पर कुत्ता आने के चलते स्कूटी सड़क पर गिर गई और जिससे उनके सर में गंभीर चोट लगी। सड़कों पर आवारा कुत्तों की भरमार होती जा रही है, और पशुप्रेमियों का प्रेम केवल उनके घरों से बाहर तक सीमित है। निगम को इसपर जल्द कार्यवाही करनी चाहिए, और माननीय उच्च न्यायालय के आदेशों का सख्ती से पालन करना चाहिए।”
This tragic incident of Kavi Nagar police station’s woman sub-inspector Richa Sachan losing her life after an accident caused by a stray dog has intensified the debate. On one hand, dog lovers demand compassion and legal protection for strays, while on the other, residents highlight the urgent need for municipal action to prevent accidents and ensure public safety. The rally thus not only represents the sentiments of pet owners but also underscores the widening gap between the concerns of animal rights activists and the fears of common citizens grappling with real-life consequences.
