NALGONDA: Stray dogs have once again created a reign of terror in Yadadri Bhuvangiri district headquarters, leaving three children severely injured in separate incidents.
In Tarakarama Nagar, a four-year-old boy, Priyansh, was playing outside his house when a pack of stray dogs suddenly attacked him.
The dogs inflicted severe injuries on his face and gouged out one of his eyeballs, leaving residents in shock.
In a similar incident in RB Nagar, two six-year-old children, Agarwal and Tanvish, were chased and bitten on their legs while walking.
All three children were initially taken to the Local Area Hospital and later shifted to Hyderabad for advanced treatment. Priyansh’s condition is said to be critical.
Residents expressed concern over the rising stray dog menace and urged municipal authorities to take immediate preventive measures.
