Several incidents of stray dog attacks on children in Nagpur have sparked widespread fear among residents. In Salfiyabad Colony, two boys, aged eight and nine, were reportedly attacked while playing near their homes on October 16, 2025. Both children sustained injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Local residents have expressed outrage, blaming the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) for failing to implement effective measures to control the growing stray dog population. Neighbors have demanded immediate vaccination drives, sterilization programs, and proper monitoring to prevent further attacks. Parents in the area have also warned against letting children play outdoors unsupervised until the situation is addressed. Animal welfare experts and civic authorities have highlighted the need for a balanced approach, combining humane treatment of stray dogs with public safety measures. The incidents underscore the broader challenge of urban animal management in Nagpur and the pressing need for coordinated action between municipal authorities, local NGOs, and residents to prevent similar attacks in the future. #NagpurStrayDogs #ChildSafety
