LAYYAH: A 35-year-old woman was mauled by a pack of stray dogs in Choubara tehsil’s Nawankot area about 50 kilometres from here on Wednesday.

Sarwar Mai, 35, of Basti Sittarwali of desert union council Nawankot, was collecting fodder from gram fields when five stray dogs attacked her and mauled her to death.

An eyewitness, Muhammad Farooq, told Dawn the face of the woman was ripped apart by the dogs and her dead body was found in four pieces.

Sarwar Mai married 18 years ago but separated from her husband and had been residing with her parents for the last 15 years.

Stray dogs are found in large numbers in the district and social workers often complain to the TMA and demand their elimination.
