Overview
- Delhi’s Directorate of Education clarified that no teachers have been deployed for a stray dog census and called such reports misinformation.
- Schools, offices, stadiums and sports complexes must nominate nodal officers, with district education officers compiling consolidated lists for the directorate and the Chief Secretary’s office.
- Nodal officers will conduct routine checks on campuses, display their contact details at entrances and alert local bodies for action if strays are found.
- Safety directives include strengthening boundary walls and gates, deploying guards at sports facilities, and running awareness and first-aid programs for dog bites.
- A district list in North West A naming 118 teachers as nodal officers fueled concern among unions, which object to non-teaching duties during the pre-board period.
