Residents raise concern
Following the dog scare, Aniket’s parents were quoted in a report by The Vocal News and suggesting that the incident has left them shaken and demanding safety measures to ensure such issues concerning dogs don’t repeat in the society. It was reported that the premises had more than 50 stray dogs which would frequently attack or cause nuisance to residents.
The news report pointed out that a similar incident occurred a month ago where another child was bitten by a stray dog. Speaking to the news outlet, the president of the Apartment Owners Association (AOA), acknowledged the issue and pointed out that some dog lovers are feeding the dogs at various other locations within the society, which might be a reason contributing to the rise in the stray dog population in the area and the consequent threat from them.
