I am resident of Church Road, Marol, Andheri (E) and my parents live in JB Nagar, Andheri (E). I would like to bring your attention to the dog menance being faced by residents of both JB Nagar and Church Road.
There are several stray dogs in both these areas. Today (December 5) my father went on his routine morning walk (8 am) to the nearby garden. As he was walking, a dog bit his left leg from behind and ran away. He lost his senses for a split of a second and looked behind and noticed 5-6 other dogs close by - all being fed biscuts by a passerby. He bled a bit and we immediately took him to the nearby CGHS clinic and got him vaccinated and a tetenus shot. He has to get four more shots in the coming few days.
He is really traumatic and is now extremely scared to get out of the house now out of sheer fear of dogs.
There are many small children & senior citizens who have faced similar situations. It has become really unsafe and impossible for us to walk on these roads because of these dogs. Even during nights, these dogs keep barking and continue barking throughout the night.
The number of dogs have increased drastically over the last few years and BMC is not taking corrective actions. This must be addressed immediately and some BMC has to immediately pick these dogs up.
I humbly request the concerned authorities to take necessary course of action and ensure such incidents like my father's does not repeat again
