Construction of Delhi’s first stray dog shelter in Sector 29, Dwarka, has been paused because of Graded Response Action Plan air‑quality restrictions. Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials said the Rs 3.7 crore facility, funded by GMR Group, is being built on a 2.5‑acre plot and is intended to house about 1,500 stray dogs. They noted that the A Block and 19 kennels have been completed, while lintel work on B Block is in progress. The work was halted after GRAP curbs were implemented, and MCD added that construction will restart once the restrictions are lifted. The shelter, originally slated to open by the end of November, was expected to include vertical expansion potential and a large open recreation area for the dogs.
