The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has suspended a junior engineer in connection with the demolition at animal rescuer Jagriti Mishra’s shelter, a day after Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured action in the matter.
The suspension follows controversy surrounding the demolition, which raised concerns about the treatment of rescued animals and the action taken by civic authorities.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had earlier assured that the matter would be examined and appropriate action taken against those responsible.
The MCD’s decision marks a significant development in the case, bringing accountability within the civic body into focus. The incident has also drawn attention to the challenges faced by animal rescuers and the need to protect animals housed in shelters during enforcement operations.
