In his representation, Ashok informed that 12th ward member of their village, Vadlakonda Dasharatham has a pet dog, which was creating terror among the villagers. Besides killing hens, the dog was turning out to be a threat to children and was damaging vegetable plants.

They were scared to send their children outside since the dog was not vaccinated. Despite villagers’ warning on a number of times, Dasharatham was not taking steps to control his dog, he informed and requested officials to take action against Dasharatham as well as his dog.

When Collector Yasmeen Basha questioned where was the need to approach the office for a small issue which could be solved in the village itself, Ashok informed that he has to come to Prajavani since Dasharatham had reacted irresponsibly. Collector instructed the district panchayat officer to look into the matter.
