We are an Online Advisory service on Street Animal related first aid queries. We are based out of Delhi, India and JAAGRUTI™ primarily, functions as an INFORMATION HELPLINE and a STREET ANIMAL FIRST AID and VACCINATION SERVICE IN NORTH-WEST DELHI (mainly).We are NOT a RESCUE SERVICE or a HOSPITAL or an ANIMAL AMBULANCE SERVICE, but we trust ourselves to be able to guide you in the best possible wa

y we can if your intent is to help animals and those who look after them. For those of you who don't like animals and think this planet is for humans alone, we will try our best to transform your attitude towards them to one of compassion :) and help make this world a kinder and better place for all.

Dear Gen Z,

This note is to THANK YOU for whatever you have done and shown over the past 5 days - DETERMINATION, RESOLVE, UNITY, HUMANITY and STRENGTH; and NOT TO FORGET LOADS OF COURAGE.

My only advice to you is let this MOVEMENT remain LEADERLESS. The Animal Welfare movement collapsed and became toothless because some became self-appointed leaders took centre stage and then played dirty politics. The mistake - Leaders became more important than the cause. The Street Dogs and the Animals, thus LOST!

So, REMEMBER, if you want to remain effective and strong, REMAIN LEADERLESS and look to each other for inspiration and whenever you doubt yourself, look at the Cockroach 🪳 for inspiration - a species that has survived 320 million years and all extinctions! What more inspiration does one even need!

On a personal note - The state of this country was breaking my heart. You helped heal it with hope and brought a smile.

With tears in my eyes and lots of love in my heart, I wish you all the very best as you try to create an India that I always dreamt off but could never build.

From,

I just turned 44.

4+4 = 8, you know naa!

My rebellion against the Indian Education System started way before. I detest it. I hate it.

And this coming from a person who has multiple academic scholarships, awards and even a Delhi University Gold Medal.

The Indian Education Systems broke my spirit - and I refuse to let my daughter be a part of it.

I HOMESCHOOL her.

Hard as it is for me, after being through an ugly 4 year long court battle to come out of a toxic marriage.

As is said - CHOOSE YOUR HARD!

“Indian Education system fails. Kids paying the price”Suo moto case…anyone?

It’s easy to blame a whole species (street dogs) for their random and rare natural behavioural trait/act of self defence (bark/bite), while guarding those who are responsible for the despondence, su***de and mental health struggles of India’s youth.

This happens only in India.

Jai Hind!

We stood for hours in the heat to catch a glimpse of Aloka, the Peace Dog on 8th June 2026, when he arrived in Delhi at the Buddhist Temple in Delhi’s Mandir Marg area.

All we wanted was a minute to submit our request on behalf of every compassionate citizen of India to the Venerable Monks and Aloka to help spread the message of compassion towards the much-maligned Indian Street Dogs who are being subjected to heartbreaking and gut-wrenching cruelty every day.

It was sad and ironical that the majority of the people who had gathered there to welcome Aloka were unaware that Aloka is actually an Indian Street Dog.

It is a tragedy that those hooting for Aloka that day may actually be cruel to the street dog sitting outside their home!

May Aloka help spread the message across India that Indian Street Dogs deserve respect, compassion and kindness and not an atmosphere of hatred and fear.

Amen 🙏

From the streets of Kolkata in 2022 to a hero’s welcome in Delhi on 8th June 2026, Aloka’s journey reminds us that greatness is not measured by pedigree, wealth or status.

Sometimes, it is found in a loyal heart, four paws, and a soul that chooses love above all else.

For Indian street dogs, these are challenging times. Across the country, countless dogs face cruelty, hostility, displacement and the prospect of lifelong confinement in shelters and pounds. Amidst this uncertainty, Aloka has become a symbol of hope for his brethren.

As Aloka and the monks embarked on their short week long pilgrimage across Buddhist sites in India and Nepal, we requested their help in spreading a message that India desperately needs to hear: that the dogs who share our streets are not our enemies. They are our neighbours, our companions, and fellow inhabitants of this land.

We requested them to remind people of the values of compassion, kindness and peaceful coexistence — values deeply rooted in India’s spiritual and cultural heritage.

May India rise above the fear and hatred being directed towards its street dogs.

May more people open their hearts to the many Alokas who walk our streets unnoticed every day.

And may we never forget that compassion is the true measure of a civilized society. ❤️🐾

From a Compassionate nation rooted in the policies of Non Violence (Ahimsa Parmo Dharma) to a nation that is committing unprecedented cruelty on its animals and that too led by young children.

Spine chilling videos of young Indian kids committing broad day light murders and rap$ of dogs are circulating every day - I shudder to think of the day when these kids will graduate to being hardcore criminals committing the same atrocities on girls, women and senior citizens - all of whom the Apex court of India wanted to protect by labelling India’s street dogs as the biggest threat to Public Safety!

It’s all a sham and a shame!

DON’T ask why street dogs weren’t sterilised and vaccinated.

ASK WHY the authorities failed to ensure it happened.

ASK WHY municipal authorities are now scrambling to demonstrate compliance with Supreme Court directions by hurriedly building shelters, when the same urgency, sincerity, discipline and respect for the law were never shown towards implementing the Animal Birth Control Rules that have existed since 2001.

Remember:

🐾 Street dogs cannot sterilise themselves.
🐾 They cannot vaccinate themselves against rabies.
🐾 They cannot walk into hospitals and seek treatment.
🐾 They cannot demand that authorities follow the law.

They depend entirely on human intervention.

For more than two decades, India has had a legal framework for the humane and scientific management of street dog populations. The Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001, and subsequently the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023, mandate systematic sterilisation, anti-rabies vaccination, and the return of healthy dogs to the same territories from where they were picked up.

Had these Rules been implemented in letter and spirit across India:

Instead of implementing the solution, many authorities ignored it.

And now, the victims of that failure are being blamed.

Blaming street dogs for a problem created by administrative negligence is neither fair, lawful nor effective.

The solution has always been:

✅ Awareness and sensitisation programmes
✅ Scientific sterilisation
✅ Mass anti-rabies vaccination
✅ Responsible waste management
✅ Returning sterilised and vaccinated dogs to the same area from where they were picked up — the only humane and scientifically proven population-management protocol endorsed by the World Health Organization.

Street dogs were never the problem.

Failure to implement the solution was, is, and has always been the real problem.

When even the brightest scientific institutions ignore the law, who will uphold it?

An unlawful and cruel dog relocation exercise is reportedly being planned at the DRDO residential campus in Balasore. Relocation is not only ineffective, it is prohibited under the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023 and violates the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

Street dog populations are controlled through one proven, legal method:

CATCH • NEUTER • VACCINATE • RELEASE

Not illegal relocation. Not private dog catchers. Not dumping dogs elsewhere.

The ABC Rules 2023 clearly state that sterilised and vaccinated street dogs must be returned to the same area from where they were picked up. Removing them only creates a vacuum, leading to more dogs entering the area and making the problem worse.

Scientists at DRDO should know better. We urge them to follow the law, work with recognised animal welfare organisations, and implement proper ABC and anti-rabies programmes instead of unlawful relocation drives.

Please tag and write to:



Educate, don’t relocate.
Follow the law.
Save lives.
:::

Defence Research and Development Organisation should follow the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023 and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.

My message to Honourable CM of Delhi, Smt. Rekha Gupta ji

People like us—and now you too, as you’ve said you love all forms of life—have a simple, urgent request:

We do not need “dog shelters.”

Serving and feeding animals in need is already a daily ritual for countless citizens—through heat, rain, and everything in between.

Please do not invest in building shelters, pounds, or anything else you may wish to call them.

Instead, we have two clear requests:

1️⃣ Build a world-class, robust Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme with strong emphasis on awareness with regard to dog bite prevention.

2️⃣ Upgrade Delhi’s 77 government veterinary hospitals to world class facilities - Improve their infrastructure, staffing, and medical capacity.

That alone can transform the situation.

Let Delhi aim for 70% street dog sterilisation by the end of FY 2026–27. Invest in Mobile ABC units that can target urban villages of Delhi.

This is achievable—with community participation from people like us who have been:
• Feeding
• Sterilising
• Vaccinating
• Providing medical care
• Ensuring dignified cremations to Street Dogs

…for decades.

PEOPLE LIKE US DO NOT WANT DOG SHELTERS.
