Delhi Education Minister Denies Teachers Assigned Stray Dog Duties; Accuses AAP of Spreading Misinformation
New Delhi – December 30, 2025 – Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood vehemently denied allegations today that teachers are being tasked with managing stray dogs around educational institutions in the capital. Speaking at a press conference, Sood accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of spreading misinformation on social media, falsely claiming teachers were being diverted from their academic responsibilities for non-teaching duties related to stray dogs.
“No such order or circular has been issued by the Delhi government,” Sood stated, challenging the AAP to produce any official documentation to substantiate their claims.
The clarification comes after the Directorate of Education directed schools to appoint nodal officers to handle issues related to stray dogs near school premises, complying with a Supreme Court order. However, the directorate has emphasized that teachers have not been specifically assigned these roles.
In an official statement released yesterday, the Directorate of Education explicitly stated, “No directions have been issued…concerning the assignment of specific duties to teachers.”
The AAP has yet to respond to the Minister’s accusations.
Sood also mentioned similar, what he described as “incorrect,” allegations made by the AAP recently, related to administrative actions and school-related instructions. The Education Minister emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring teachers can focus on their core academic responsibilities and dismissed the AAP’s claims as baseless.
