Samvad Sutra, Jagran, Meeranpur Katra. Supreme Court issued orders to control stray dogs. Guidelines were issued regarding their sterilization and vaccination, but the officials neither have the fear of the Supreme Court nor the time to follow the instructions of the government. From city to village, dogs are attacking people. They are being bitten, due to which the number of people getting rabies injections in government hospitals has increased rapidly.
More than 24 people were bitten by dogs in Katra within two days. Seven-year-old Gautam, a resident of Bhojpur, who came to the Community Health Center on Saturday, told that he was playing outside the house. Then a group of dogs attacked him there. By the time relatives and neighbors arrived, he was bitten at many places.
He was taken to CHC, where the doctor administered injections. Sudha Devi, a resident of Khujaria village, came to close the door of the house when a stray dog was standing there. When they tried to shoo him away, he ran at them. Sudha's leg was cut at two places. When the family members came out, they chased away the dog.
These are not just two cases. Vanshika, daughter of Naresh, resident of Saidapur, Anees, resident of Mudiya, Sumit Singh of Sahamapur, Tanu, daughter of Dharamveer, resident of Rasevan, Rajesh, resident of Vaivah, Ramchandra, Bevi, resident of Ramnagar Colony, Asmita etc. reached the Community Health Center to get vaccinated after being bitten by stray dogs.
There is terror of stray dogs on Islamnagar intersection, Katra Khudaganj road, Mohalla Nadirshah, Atishbajan, Kayasthan, Afridi, Bangshan, Ramnagar Colony road of the city. After 10 pm on the Islamnagar intersection to Katra Khudaganj road, a pack of dogs starts attacking vehicles and pedestrians. People are so scared that they do not send their children to school alone. Women have stopped morning walks and evening walks.
Rabies can also be caused by touching nails
Medical Officer in-charge of CHC, Dr. Faizan Khan has said that every day a large number of people are coming to the hospital troubled by dog bites. Rabies can also be caused by being bitten by a dog's nails. Therefore, if the dog bites, then wash that area with clean water and soap for about 15 minutes. After that, go to your nearest CHC or PHC and get anti-rabies vaccine.
Talks will be held with the Nagar Panchayat Executive Officer and BDO. Effective steps will be taken to vaccinate, sterilize and keep stray dogs away from the population.
