In Dapoli taluka, during the period of seven months from April 2024 to October 2024, 1014 people were bitten by snakes, scorpions, dogs, cats, fishes from the Upazila Hospital. All these were treated appropriately. However, since the number of people injured due to dog bites in seven months is large, there is a demand for shelter from stray dogs. The number of stray dogs is increasing day by day in Dapoli city and rural areas as well. But it is coming to light that the local administration is not taking serious action in this regard. Between April 2024 and October 2024, 650 people were reported to have been bitten by dogs. This includes some children and these stray dogs have also sustained serious injuries.www.konkantoday.com
