Six-year-old girl Anusha, daughter of Raza Muhammad Khokhar, was bitten by stray dogs in village Badani on Sunday. She was critically injured and rushed by her relatives for treatment and anti-rabies vaccination to Casualty of Chandka Medical College Hospital (CMCH). At the very outset she was denied ARV on the pretext of holiday, but when media persons intervened she was provided vaccine and treatment.
The menace of stray & pye-dogs has increased manifold in entire Larkana district including cities, towns and villages where no action has so far been taken to eliminate them by the local bodies department. Previously, a vigorous campaign was regularly launched to kill them after every six months by civic agencies but due to intervention by very influential animal lovers, this practice has been abandoned without provision of its substitute but people continue to be bitten for no fault of theirs at all.
Meanwhile, five stray dogs also snatched yesterday a precious life of a little innocent boy 6-year Zaheer Gadani son of Abdul Jabbar Gadani, resident of Khosa village, located near in Old Bus Stand area on Saturday evening. The boy was student of primary class I. He was brutally bitten in the neck and other body parts due to which he was critically injured. His relatives rushed him to the Accident & Emergency Centre of Chandka Medical College Hospital for treatment and further management but duty doctors after examining found him dead. His heirs said while crying that as soon as Zaheer came out of his house he was attacked by five stray dogs and left him injured profusely bleeding. They rushed him to the CMCH but he had already expired on the way, they added.
