Action Needs To Be Taken
The villagers claim that they have registered many complaints regarding the dog menace in the area, but the authorities have not taken any action. Previous incidents of dog attacks have also been ignored by the authorities. Strict action should be taken, and the municipal corporation should catch these dogs, as children are now afraid to even step out of their houses.
