Srinagar, May 17: Residents of area Munwarabad area here have expressed concern over presence of a large number of stray dogs in the area.
A delegation from the locality said that stray dogs chase commuters posing a risk to their lives. “Due to the presence of stray dogs, we are unable to venture out of our homes especially in evenings and mornings. It becomes difficult for students, especially kids, to board school buses in the mornings due to the presence of stray dogs. Many pedestrians have been bitten by these dogs. We had many times apprised the SMC authorities to look into the matter but no action was taken. We make a fervent appeal to the SMC Commissioner to take measures to tackle the stray dog menace in the locality,” they added.
