An eight-year-old girl was mauled to death by stray dogs in a village in Pulwama district, officials said on Monday.

They said Zobia Gulzar, a resident of the Beighpora locality in Awantipora, was attacked by the dogs near her house.

The minor girl was rushed to a local hospital but was referred to a health facility in Srinagar as she has suffered grievous injuries, they said.

The officials said the girl succumbed during treatment. A pall of gloom descended the village after the news of the child’s death spread in the area.

There has been a steep rise in the dog population in Kashmir due to a ban on the culling of strays.

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).
