NEW DELHI: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said that Delhi’s stray dog problem should be tackled by controlling their population rather than confining them to shelters.Bhagwat, a veterinary science graduate, further stressed that all animals have the right to live.Speaking at a religious gathering at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack, he commented on the recent Supreme Court directive asking Delhi-NCR authorities to permanently move strays off the streets into shelters.“The problem can be solved only by regulating the population of street dogs. But, it cannot be resolved by putting stray dogs in shelters,” he said.In order to prove his point, Bhagwat also referred to an example of keeping the balance while drawing from nature. He said that while milking a cow, Indians take some milk and leave the rest for the calf. “This is the art of striking a balance between man and nature. The nature should be conserved by maintaining a balance between development and the environment,” PTI cited the RSS chief.After the Cuttack meeting, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief travelled to Puri to meet Shankaracharya Nischalananda Saraswati and visit the Shree Jagannath temple.Bhagwat, who arrived in Odisha on Wednesday evening and stayed overnight at the Utkal Bipanna Sahayata Samiti office in the city’s Mancheswar area, is scheduled to leave the state on Friday.
