Stray dog menace haunts cantonment residents

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Residents of Secunderabad cantonment are an annoyed lot as they have to bear ‘stray dog nuisance’, especially the continuous barking every evening. “In what is a clear case of lethargy, Cantonment authorities are moving slowly in sterilising dogs and it has been over six months since any dog-catching team visited our area,” said Ramesh Kumar, a resident of a weaker section colony in Trimulgherry and who runs a laundry. “As we do not have professional dog catchers, we are able to sterilise an average of just five to ten dogs per day and around 200 every month,” he said. Residents of Sai Baba colony in Seetharam Puram, Royal Enclave and Mahatma Nagar in Bowenpally complain that in the absence of regular sterilisation there has been a steady rise of stray dogs in the surroundings.
