Hyderabad: Street dogs are creating panic among residents of Reddy Colony, Yadava Nagar, Krishna Colony and Gauthi Nagar. 29 people in Hanamkonda were injured in stray dog attacks on Thursday. The victims including five children and an elderly woman were rushed to the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital (MGM).
According to the superintendent of MGM Hospital, Dr V Chandrashekhar, a total of 29 people including three children had come to the hospital after they were attacked by stray dogs.
“Twenty-two cases have been registered and treated. Of which, three children were shifted to the emergency service ward, and a 60-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for treatment,” he said.
