Core city not exempt from dog menace
The Hindu
‘Over 50 per cent of 4.7 lakh dogs terilised/jabbed’
Packs of stray dogs menacingly roaming the streets is no strange news in Hyderabad, where canine attacks and bite are regularly reported from several localities, especially from city fringes.
The latest evidence is that even high-profile localities in the core city are not exempt from increasing number of stray dogs, despite GHMC’s claims about successful sterilisation programme. Mother-dogs with pups in tow can be found even around the Chief Minister’s camp office, while the same are in high numbers in fringe localities such as Hayatnagar and Mansurabad.
Increased number of stray dogs are being reported from localities such as Necklace Road, Domalguda, Punjagutta, Banjara Hills, Begumpet, Nampally, and several other areas.
