Residents of a complex in Thane have been forced to carry lathis within the complex for self-defence due to recent stray dog attacks. More than a dozen have reportedly been bitten, including a security guard. Concerned residents have stopped sending their children and senior citizens outside unaccompanied due to this, a report said in this paper. They have complained to so many authorities but have yet to receive a response.
Residents have several CCTV clips showing stray dogs attacking residents. Going to the stores, stepping out for essentials like milk, are now getting increasingly fraught as residents of the 4,000 plus people complex are getting attacked. Some dog feeders within the complex insist that these are outside dogs and not those they feed. The municipal authorities need to respond once they investigate this complaint. They cannot wait for days to take action as this would mean that residents may suffer more bites.
