Vijay Goel launches stray dog centre
New Delhi, December 18
As dog bites surge, hospitals grapple with 200-250 daily cases, thrusting the issue into the spotlight.
Stepping into action, former union minister Vijay Goel unveiled the ‘Centre for Stray Dog Problems,’ in Bengali Market, providing a platform for the community to voice their concerns and find solutions. This strategic move not only acknowledges the severity of the issue but also provides a platform for the community to voice their concerns.
The gravity of the problem becomes apparent in the alarming statistics from a government report, revealing over 1.5 crore cases of dog bites reported in India between 2019-2022. The severity of the issue is underscored by recent orders from Punjab and Haryana High Courts, stipulating compensation of a minimum of Rs 10,000 per tooth mark and Rs 20,000 for instances where flesh is torn off.
