About 1.65 lakh bitten by stray dogs in Kerala, 17 dead in last five months

Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 5 (UNI) In a shocking health concern, over 165,000 people have been bitten by stray dogs in Kerala in the past five months alone, and despite timely vaccination,17 victims, including children, have died.
This reflects a serious failure of Kerala’s public health system and shortcomings in vaccine distribution, and shows that rabid and dangerously aggressive stray dogs pose a threat to the lives of children, Congress leader and Idukki Lok Sabha member Dean Kuriakose said in a release today.
Demanding that sub-divisional magistrates be given the authority to shoot and kill aggressive stray dogs, the MP said he had raised the issue in the Lok Sabha under Rule 377.
