6-Year-Old Boy Fatally Attacked By Stray Dogs In Telangana, Locals Demand Action

A six-year-old boy lost his life after being attacked by stray dogs while playing in a park near the Kazipet railway station quarters on Friday

Tragedy struck in Hanamkonda district as a six-year-old boy lost his life after being attacked by stray dogs while playing in a park near the Kazipet railway station quarters on Friday morning. The young victim, identified as Chotu, reportedly succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

According to an IANS report, Chotu was the son of migrant laborers from Uttar Pradesh. The family had arrived at Kazipet railway station the previous night and had taken shelter in a nearby park. While the boy's parents briefly left him to attend to nature's call, they returned to a devastating sight. The child lay motionless in a pool of blood. They rushed him to a hospital, but unfortunately, he had already passed away.

Government Chief Whip Vinay Bhaskar and Mayor Gundu Sudha Rani visited the hospital to offer condolences and support to the grieving parents. The police subsequently transferred Chotu's body to MGM Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Following this tragic incident, local residents are calling on authorities to take immediate action to address the issue of stray dog menace within the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) limits.

Over the past four months, Telangana has witnessed several similar attacks, resulting in the loss of lives and injuries to several children. On February 19, a five-year-old child was mauled to death by stray dogs near his father's workplace at a housing society in Hyderabad. In another heart-wrenching incident in March, a five-year-old boy in Khammam district succumbed to rabies after being bitten by stray dogs.

These incidents have shaken the people of Telangana. While the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) announced measures to tackle the issue of stray dogs following the February 19 incident, citizens argue that these measures have had little impact on the ground.
