Every day we hear an incident of a dog attack in our locality. We have made several complaints to the Municipal Corporation but to no avail."

"There is a man named Kailash Sahu who feeds meat to the dogs every day. Because of this, the number of dogs in our locality is increasing day by day. Now we will have to complain about this to the police. And if even then no action is taken. We all will stage a protest because not only our children, but elderly people are also in danger." Another child of the locality said that because of the fear of dogs, we all have stopped playing. Even when we are going to school, these dogs follow us. We are afraid to step out of our houses.
