KHAMMAM: A pack of street dogs reportedly injured a five-year-old boy and killed seven goats in two separate incidents on Monday. In the first incident, stray dogs attacked a five-year-old boy named Dornala Vivek in front of his house at Jilugumadu village under Madhira municipality limits. The boy suffered injuries on his hands and has been shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Speaking to TNIE, the boy’s father, Ramu, said that the canines could have killed his son if he had not intervened on time and shooed them away.
He alleged that the municipality officials are not taking any action based on the complaints pertaining to stray dog menace in the region. When contacted, Madhira municipal department personnel said that they are planning to reduce the stray dog population by capturing and transporting the dogs to Khammam to get them neutered.
In the second incident, around seven goats died after dogs attacked them in Yellandu town. K Narasimha Rao, a local, said that such incidents frighten many people, making them feel scared to even walk on roads.
