Stray dog menace in Hyderabad
Last year, approximately 15 stray dogs attacked a woman on her morning walk in Hyderabad.
The incident took place at Chitrapuri Hills in Manikonda. Despite the violent attack, the woman managed to survive due to her quick thinking.
The attack, during which she fell to the ground at one point, raises concerns as many people go for morning walks in the city.
Despite many attacks, concerned authorities have not taken the required action as stray dogs continue to pose a threat to residents of Hyderabad.
