Routine morning walk to Dr. Bedkar School of Economics University (Base) in West Bengalur was scared of two students when a pack of five to six dogs attacked on Tuesday.
Bruhat Bengalur Mahanagar Officials confirmed the incident and stated that this occurred between 6:30 and 7:00, while both girls walked separately. Injuries to students, Soujanya from Hraver and Rega Nischith of Telangana, both BSC students at BSC at the base, are now out of danger.
According to BBMP officials, both girls are regular morning pedestrians in the same place in the area where the same dogs are often considered to be the roof.
“The dog’s package first attacked one girl without any provocation. Later the group divided and one part attacked the other girl about 100 meters, where the first incident occurred,” BBMP official said. The walks were saved by injured students after heard their shouts, and the safety guards took them to the hospital.
“It is surprising because pedestrians and wandering are familiar with each other. The source of the provocation remains a mystery,” the officer added.
The basic campus is one of the several government institutions located in the vast campus of Jnanabharathi. Pedestrians, joggers and vehicles move daily with safety staff on duty.
Rangaswamy, administrative staff, base, said Hindu that part of the wall of the campus has fallen, which has recently enabled more stray dogs to enter. He said that further security has now been deployed in this area.
T. Chandraiah, a joint director of BBMP (animal breeding), said Hindu that Zonal officials were instructed to capture all dogs involved first, and local dishes were asked to limit the animals to specific areas to facilitate capture. “It is a very big campus and a stray population could exceed 100. We ordered to be captured without delay,” Dr. Chandraiah.
Vikas Surralkar Kishor, a special commissioner (Health), said Hindu that according to the protocol, whenever an incident for dog bite, dogs in the surrounding area are captured and maintained under supervision for 10 days.
This attack is governed by a recent incident, when a 68 -year -old man who was identified as a Seethappa was to be infected to death by the packs of dogs near Kodighelli in North Bengalur. Karnataka Lokayukta then convened BBMP officials and rebuked them and ordered the establishment of dog monitoring centers in the city.
Mr. Kishhor said BBMP currently has five community kennels in Dasarahalli and opens another in Yelahanka. “We keep records of bite of dogs in each public health center (PHC) and use them to identify aggressive dogs or those involved in biting incidents. We take all possible measures to reduce such cases,” he said.
It should be noted that BBMP hovering offers for the Flying Feeding program. The civic body believes that starvation is one of the reasons for stray attacks.
The incident comes only a day after the Supreme Court decided to capture and move stray dogs to shelters in Delhi.
