DADU: Stray dogs bit 23 people, including 13 children, in various parts of Dadu city in a single day on Tuesday.

The affected people complained that the district administration and taluka/town municipal administration/union administration (TMA) had failed to kill the stray dogs in the city and dog-bite cases were increasing day by day.

When the dog-bite victims, including children, were taken at the Civil Hospital Dadu for treatment, they were returned without being administered rabies vaccine, the victims claimed.

“The local government and district administration is not taking any effort to kill the stray dogs and the dogs are roaming freely in the city and biting people and children,” said an affected person, Ghulam Qadir.
