September 18, 2018 I will never forget this year and date. My son's life has been altered by the incident that transpired on this day. Even now, when he hears dogs howling at night, he still wakes up screaming. He breaks down in tears when he reads about dog attacks. At the young age of twelve, he has gray hair and health problems brought on by medication side effects.
Pushpa Diwan sobs as she says this. Adivitya, a Bhopal local and Pushpa Diwan's son, was bitten by a dog. He was severely hurt when playing outside the house and was surrounded by stray dogs. Adivitya received prompt medical attention and 110 stitches, but he still experiences anxiety when he sees dogs.
Read the heartbreaking accounts of three families whose members were bitten by dogs in this report. A family has experienced the loss of their innocent two-year-old kid. This would also explain why, in spite of the sterilization drive, the number of stray dogs is rising rather than falling.
