New Delhi will see the establishment of animal welfare committees across all its districts as part of a government initiative to strengthen monitoring and prevent cruelty to animals. These district-level bodies will function under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and will be led by respective District Magistrates to ensure effective implementation. The move also includes restructuring existing institutions to improve efficiency. With support from the state-level Animal Welfare Board, these committees will enhance coordination, provide better enforcement, and ensure quicker responses to cases of animal cruelty.
