Question on administrative negligence
The game of bursting on each other is also going on between the Municipal Corporation and Animal Husbandry Department. Jaipur Municipal Corporation Greater claims that the budget is being used for dog bite prevention and sick dogs are being identified. But the opposition councilors allege that the situation has worsened due to irregularity among tenders.
Elderly and children do not get out of dogs’ fear
People in many areas of the city do not send children to play in the street or park alone. Getting out on the streets at night, especially for the elderly and women, has become a challenge. Videos of stray dog attacks are also going viral on social media, which expose the failure of the administration.
What to do after dog byte?
- Experts’ opinion health experts say that it is necessary to provide anti-rabies vaccine and serum on time after dog byte, but more important than this is to reduce the number of stray dogs from the roads.
- After the orders of the court ahead, it is expected that the Municipal Corporation, Animal Husbandry Department and Health Department will jointly form a coordinated scheme. But until this scheme shows the effect on the ground, millions of people of Rajasthan will be forced to live in the shadow of this ‘road terror’ every day.
