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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
