A serious injury to Delhi University professor Sangeeta Sharma inside Jaypee Greens in Greater Noida has revived scrutiny of an Allahabad High Court ruling meant to regulate stray dog feeding. The 2024 order required six designated feeding points, fixed timing, and a ban on feeding near towers, parks, roads and pathways. Residents allege the directions are routinely ignored, with dog packs roaming across the 465-acre township, leaving senior citizens afraid to walk even as some violations reportedly face no real enforcement.
Residents of Jaypee Greens in Greater Noida say fear has become routine after Delhi University professor Prof. Sangeeta Sharma was seriously injured in a fall while trying to escape a pack of aggressive stray dogs. Her family alleges four to five dogs chased her near her home, and a close approach caused her to lose balance. With a prior knee surgery and existing spinal issues, the impact worsened her condition. They blame inaction from society management despite repeated complaints and court directions, including issues around feeding rules.
