Sangareddy: In a disturbing incident, a child was injured after he was attacked by a pack of six stray dogs while playing outside his house in Sangareddy. Local residents rushed to the child’s aid and rescued him. A CCTV footage of the incident, which has now been widely shared on social media, captures the horrifying moment when the dogs attacked the child. As the boy screamed for help, the residents used stones to hit and drive the dogs away. Despite their quick action, the boy reportedly suffered serious injuries and was immediately rushed to a government hospital for treatment. There were 96 stray dog attacks in Patancheru in June alone! The incident is part of a disturbing trend in Telangana, where stray dog attacks on children have become common. Just recently, a six-year-old boy was mauled to death by stray dogs at a dump yard in Miyapur. In another incident in April 2024, a two-and-a-half-year-old girl playing outside an under-construction apartment building in Gayatri Nagar was fatally attacked by stray dogs. The ever-increasing menace of stray dogs has left many residents of Hyderabad and nearby districts fearful about their safety. Despite these frequent attacks and growing concerns of citizens, the authorities have not yet taken any effective steps to tackle the stray dog menace.
