Bhopal's Kohefiza neighbourhood. This is also the location of a Housing Board community. Numerous streets and crossroads are home to dozens of stray dogs that are out and about. Dogs surrounded a toddler two days ago as they were leaving this neighborhood. He ran, and that saved his life. There was a near escape for the private school principal as well. These are only two examples from a residential neighborhood; the city is filled with these kinds of images. The number of dog bite cases at government hospitals has also gone up.
Even when stray dogs started biting people in March and growing dangerous, neither the administration nor the accountable corporate authorities are taking notice of it. While the cops are providing direct answers to the question of sterilisation, public representatives are brushing it off, citing the enforcement of the code of conduct for the Lok Sabha elections. On March 19, nine days prior, dogs had even bitten the jaw of a six-year-old boy.
According to Expert Deputy Director Dr. Ramteke, dogs can't regulate their body temperature in the summer and are restless in extremely hot or cold temperatures. Winter is the breeding season. They flee and bite bystanders in the road in an attempt to save their kids. Dogs, however, are unable to regulate their body temperature throughout the heat. They therefore use breathing to maintain a regular body temperature. Their restlessness intensifies more if there is a food or drink shortage. As a result, they begin acting aggressively.
