Overview

• Delhi Police’s July 29 letter to the DDA’s Director of Horticulture demands details on any security agency contracts, including assigned duties and patrol schedules, in the DDA parks.
• The July 4 communication from Moti Nagar SHO Varun Dalal also questioned who is responsible for stray dog management and what standard operating procedures aim to prevent attacks.
• Authorities have requested information on the number of CCTV cameras installed in the park and specifics of the annual maintenance contracts for surveillance equipment.
• The DDA has yet to provide the requested information, prompting concerns over accountability gaps in park oversight.
• The inquiry follows early-July’s fatal stray dog attack that left 55-year-old Bhikhari Yadav dead after a morning walk in a DDA-managed park.
