A two-year-old girl was seriously injured after being mauled by a stray dog in Maharashtra’s Thane district on Friday evening.
The incident was captured on a CCTV camera. Veda Vikas Kajare was walking in an alley with another girl, when a stray dog came from behind and attacked her. The child fell down and the dog continued to attack her.
Following the incident, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Rohidas Munde said the stray dog population in the area where the girl was attacked has surged unchecked despite multiple complaints.
“If the Thane Municipal Corporation does not take immediate action to capture the stray dogs, then we will collect all dogs in the area and release them in the civic body’s office,” he warned.
The incident coincided with an elderly couple from Delhi moving the Supreme Court, alleging civic authorities’ inaction despite a dog biting at least six people.
The top court on Friday, citing an “alarming rise” in dog bite incidents in institutional areas such as educational centres, hospitals, bus stands and railway stations, had ordered that such canines be moved to shelter homes.
The court also directed authorities, including the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), to ensure that highways and expressways are cleared of stray animals and cattle.
The court had earlier reserved its order on an interim plea seeking a stay on parts of its August 11 directions, noting that the “entire stray dog problem” stemmed from the “inaction” of local authorities.
