A stray dog bit a woman at Terminal-2 of Jaipur Airport, injuring her. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. This incident raises serious questions on the presence of stray dogs and security arrangements at the airport.
Jaipur: Just a few days ago, a video of a stray dog at Bengaluru airport, sleeping soundly on the iron chairs kept for passengers, had gone viral. People had expressed a lot of anger on this. Now just a few days after this incident, a stray dog has bitten a woman at Jaipur Airport in Rajasthan. This incident happened at Terminal-2 of Jaipur International Airport.
The woman was seriously injured by the dog bite, and was taken from the airport to the hospital for treatment. This incident happened around 2:20 pm on Sunday afternoon. The woman who was attacked by the dog had come from Delhi to Jaipur by flight and the dog bit her near the exit gate of the airport. Airport staff say that the dog has already been vaccinated, so there is no need to worry.
What did the eyewitnesses tell…
Eyewitnesses present at the airport said that the dog suddenly attacked the woman in Terminal-2 area and bit her leg. People nearby immediately helped him and informed the airport authorities. The airport management immediately admitted the injured passenger to a nearby private hospital and gave him first aid. It is being told that now he is out of danger.
This is not the first time that a dog has attacked at the airport. Similar incidents of dog attacks on passengers and common people have been reported in the past also. Despite this, no permanent solution has been found to the problem of stray dogs in the airport premises. According to the guidelines of the Supreme Court of India, dogs should be captured and sterilized and then released back to the same place from where they were caught.
However, Jaipur airport authorities have fenced the premises. The dogs present in the airport area are being caught and vaccinated. Nevertheless, the presence of stray dogs in high-security zones like airports has now raised questions over the security arrangements.
