Ludhiana Boy Severely Injured in Stray Dog Attack, Residents Demand Urgent Action
A horrifying incident unfolded in Ludhiana when a 9-year-old boy was brutally attacked by a pack of stray dogs on Noorwala Road. The young victim, identified as Rohit, was playing in a plot after dinner when the assault occurred, leaving him with serious injuries and screaming for help.
Timely Rescue and Hospitalization
A nearby woman, alerted by the child's desperate cries, rushed to the scene and managed to rescue him from the vicious dogs. Rohit was immediately taken to a hospital for urgent medical treatment. His father, Triloki, reported that the boy sustained multiple bite wounds on both legs and his head, and he is currently under medical care as he recovers from the traumatic event.
Growing Concerns Over Stray Dog Menace
This attack has reignited long-standing fears among area residents regarding the persistent stray dog problem. Locals have voiced their frustration, pointing out that this is not an isolated incident. They highlighted a recent case in Gandhi Colony where another boy suffered severe facial injuries from a dog attack. Despite repeatedly raising the issue with authorities, residents claim their pleas for preventive measures have gone unheeded.
Key complaints from the community include:
- Persistent stray dog menace posing a daily threat to public safety.
- Lives of children in the area are at significant risk due to uncontrolled dog populations.
- Lack of effective action from the administration despite multiple appeals.
The residents are now urgently calling on the local administration to implement concrete steps to control the stray dog population and prevent such dangerous attacks in the future. They emphasize that immediate intervention is crucial to safeguard vulnerable residents, especially children, from further harm.
