A pack of stray dogs attacked 14 children playing in front of their homes in Shahenshah Nagar on Wednesday. The injured children are receiving treatment at the SNR District Hospital, while the seriously injured Kulsum (5), Shakina (4) and Tasleem (5) are being treated at the R L Jalappa Hospital.
There are many butcher shops in the vicinity and the waste thrown onto the streets from these shops attract stray dogs. Earlier, the dogs have attacked riders and passersby. Numerous complaints to the municipal authorities about the dog attacks and the reckless disposal of waste on the streets have gone unheard, said the local residents and parents of the injured children.
