Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission has taken note of a tragic incident where a 12-year-old girl lost her life due to a stray dog attack in village Lotkhedi near Bhanpura village of Mandsaur district.
The commission has sought answers from the Chief Municipality Officer (CMO) of Bhanpura, Sudhir Kumar Singh and Mandsaur Collector Dilip Kumar Yadav within 15 days. The incident has sparked concerns about the safety of residents, especially children and the elderly, from stray dogs in the area.
