As a citizen who believes in both the letter and spirit of the law, I am deeply concerned about the recent directive for mass confinement of street dogs in Delhi NCR.

Telugu actor Adivi Sesh has penned a letter to the the Chief Justice of India and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, urging them to reconsider the directive for mass confinement of street dogs in the National Capital Region.

The "Major" actor, who is a dog lover, said sterilised and vaccinated dogs should be allowed to remain in their own territories, in line with existing animal welfare laws. He also added that there should be a more lawful measure to control the population instead of resorting to mass confinement.

In his letter, the 40-year-old actor outlined alternative solutions that balance public safety with compassion for animals.

"As a citizen who believes in both the letter and spirit of the law, I am deeply concerned about the recent directive for mass confinement of street dogs in Delhi NCR. Such a measure not only contravenes our legal obligations but also goes against the compassionate values that India has always stood for." He believes that when sterialised and vaccinated, the dogs are not a threat but rather "community members who deserve dignity." He also said that the confinement is neither a sustainable or humane solution to the problem.
