Questions are being raised on the work done by Surat Municipal Corporation for stray dogs. After the incident of dog attack on a girl in Althan village, about ten dogs have been chased away by the administration. The mayor made a statement about dog aggression that diabetes is on the rise in dogs and because of this they are becoming more aggressive.
Dogs sent to Bhestan for vaccination
Dog attack is creating fear among the people. Waking up after the complaint of the local people, the Surat Municipal Corporation has intensified the action to catch the dogs. The dogs are fast tracked by the municipal team that does the spay and vaccination. After this the dogs are sent to Bhestan for vaccination.
Enhanced dog catching ability
Surat Mayor Hemali Boghavala said that the system is working on high alert in view of the increasing number of dog bite cases. The dog cages have also been increased. The medical team has also been increased by increasing the capacity to catch dogs. A team of special doctors has also been formed for stray dogs in Surat.
Attack on children is sad
The mayor said that there are many reasons for dog attacks, including dogs being hungry, eating food in the hands of children, breeding time, and according to doctors, the rate of diabetes in dogs is also increasing. Other reasons may also be responsible for dogs becoming more aggressive. Children are being attacked in such a way which is sad. The system is trying to prevent incidents of dog attacks on children in Surat in the future.
Two innocent children lost their lives in dog attack
Significantly, the terror of stray dogs is being seen in Surat for a long time. However, the system has proved to be a complete failure in curbing the menace of dogs. So far two innocent children have lost their lives in dog attack in the city.
A special team of doctors on the spot
The mayor has attributed the rising number of dog attacks in the city to other causes, including diabetes. A special team of doctors has been deployed by the municipal government to find out the reasons for the dogs becoming more aggressive at that time. The team is probing the cause of the dog attack.
