The menace of stray dogs has become a cause of major concern for the locals of Batamaloo.
A delegation from Batamaloo said that the dog population has increased tremendously in the areas including Reck Chowk.
“Hundreds of families are living under fear of dog attacks. Elderly people and children are unable to venture out due to presence of stray dogs. We have time and again asked authorities to look into the issue but to no avail. On daily basis, we have to accompany children and the elderly so that dogs won’t attack,” said Ayaz Ahmad Bhat, a local.
“This is a major problem for all of us. Stray dogs bite people, chase them when they go to prayers early in the morning, and scare away children,” they said.
Stray dogs can be seen in large groups around garbage dumps in residential areas. “These dogs have made the life hell, particularly for women and old age persons,” they said and appealed authorities to take measures in this regard.
