Sangareddy: Stray dogs continued to make life miserable for the people in the State as a pack of dogs mauled a six-year-old boy to death, while another months-old baby girl was injured seriously in another incident in Patancheru mandal on Friday.
The boy was identified as Vishal, the son of a migrant Bihari couple. Vishal was living at a construction site with his parents at Isnapur village in Patancheru mandal. He went to an isolated place behind their residences to attend nature’s call at 6.30 am. A pack of stray dogs attacked him when he was alone. Vishal died on the spot he sustained serious injuries.
The parents went searching for him after an hour when they found his dead body. In another incident, an 8-month-old girl Swathi was seriously injured at another construction site located in Muthangi village in Patancheru mandal. These two incidents happened just 3-KM apart.
The girl was rushed to Niloufer Hospital after providing first aid at Patancheru Hospital. The condition of the girl is said to be critical. The two incidents in the district exposed the increasing stray dog menace while also exposing the lack of protection for children of migrant workers at construction sites. While the parents were busy working, no one looked after the children, which resulted in these two incidents.
