Four-year-old girl, who was mauled by dog, dies

“In the past two-three months, nearly 800 children have been attacked by dogs in Bhiwandi. Another girl, Nayeeb, who was bitten by a dog on July 8, passed away today. She was in a lot of pain and it is a sad incident,” Shaikh said.

“The incident took place during the assembly session and we had provided details then as well and sought an enquiry by the collector.

This is negligence as in January, a tender should have been issued to sterilise street dogs, which has not been done as yet,” he added.
