A youth was critically injured after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs in Nowpora Safakadal area of Srinagar’s old city, triggering renewed concerns over the growing menace of stray canines in the locality.
The injured, identified as Arhan Bilal, was rushed to SMHS Hospital, where doctors are providing specialised treatment. His father told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that this was not the first time his son had fallen victim to such an attack. “Last year also, my son was attacked by stray dogs in the same locality and suffered grievous injuries. We are living in constant fear,” he said.
