Stray dog bites four in Kishanpura area
Zirakpur, August 28
A stray dog bit four persons, including a child, near a housing society in Kishanpura this morning.
Shanti Devi (50), Anju (50), Muskan (20) and Pun (8) were bitten by the canine near GMS Homes around 9 am today. The victims were rushed to a hospital in Panchkula where the condition of one of the injured women deteriorated and she had to be shifted to the PGI in Chandigarh.
Eyewitnesses said Shanti Devi’s arm was badly bitten by the dog and she was rescued by people.
Residents of the society said the stray dog menace in the area had made their life hell. “This is not the first time that a dog has injured someone so badly,” they said, adding that dogs often attack pedestrians and people on two-wheelers passing through here. The Municipal Council has not done anything to check the menace, they alleged. — TNS
