The Kerala High Court has directed the state government to decide on reactivating the Siri Jagan Committee, which processes compensation claims for stray dog attack victims. Nearly 9,000 claims remain pending, drawing judicial criticism over government inaction. The court hinted it could assign a new chair—possibly Justice Siri Jagan—to carry forward the process if no response emerges. In related action, unlicensed dog rescuer T.G. Sunil Kumar of Kochi is under scrutiny for keeping around 60 stray dogs at his home. The court also noted that classifying such attacks as a state disaster could allow funding through disaster relief schemes.
