Many local people are complaining that such incidents are taking place frequently because neither the medical officers nor the municipality and panchayat officials are paying attention to this matter. They are expressing their concern that the government should take appropriate measures, otherwise the situation will get worse. Others want to prevent the breeding of dogs by introducing animal birth control vaccinations.
