Sircilla: An elderly woman, Pitla Rajalakshmi (75) died after being attacked by stray dogs at Sewal Thanda in Mustabad division on Wednesday night. The dogs had eaten parts of her body. According to villagers, Rajalakshmi lived alone in her house, which reportedly had no doors. When she was sleeping, the dogs entered the house and attacked her.
When her son arrived home on Thursday morning, the dogs had eaten away his head and stomach. Expressing anger over the incident, villagers alleged that though children had been attacked by dogs earlier too, the authorities did not take any steps to prevent such incidents. As a result, Rajalakshmi has now lost her life. Locals want the authorities to immediately take steps to remove the dogs from the village.
