Telangana CM orders action after stray dogs maul differently-abled boy

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy orders urgent action after a pack of stray dogs severely injures a 7-year-old speech-impaired boy in Hyderabad. Details on the attack and response.

"He stated that such incidents should not recur in the future. - Chief Minister's Office"

Hyderabad, Dec 3

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday ordered action to control stray dogs after a seven-year-old speech-impaired boy was severely injured in the attack by a pack of stray dogs in Hyderabad.

The Chief Minister, who is in Delhi, reacted to the incident that occurred on Tuesday in Hayathnagar.

Premchand was severely injured in the attack by street dogs.

According to the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), Revanth Reddy was deeply moved upon reading the news about the incident.

He spoke to CMO officials and directed them to ensure the child receives the best medical treatment. He wished for the child's quick recovery.

The Chief Minister instructed the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner to provide immediate necessary assistance to the child, visit the hospital to check on the child, meet with the family members and take steps on behalf of the government to support them.

The Chief Minister also directed officials to take immediate necessary actions to control street dogs. He stated that such incidents should not recur in the future.

The boy was grievously injured in a stray dog attack on Tuesday at Sivaganga Colony of the Mansoorabad division.

Premchand was playing outside his home when a pack of stray dogs attacked him. Since the boy could not cry out for help due to his impairment, no one noticed the incident. A passerby saw the stray dogs mauling the boy and rescued him.

The boy received injuries on various body parts, and a part of his ear was ripped off. The boy was admitted to a hospital, where a surgery is likely to be done.

The boy's parents, who hail from Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh, have been living in a rented house in the area for the past three years. The boy's father works as a construction worker.

The incident triggered public outrage in the area. Corporator Koppula Narasimha Reddy, who represents Mansoorabad, blamed the GHMC for not taking measures against the stray dogs and garbage accumulation.

My prayers for little Premchand's speedy recovery 🙏. The family is from another state, working hard as laborers. The government must ensure all medical costs are covered. Sterilization drives for strays need to be consistent, not just when there's an uproar.

Respectfully, while the CM's concern is noted, this is a systemic failure. The corporator is right to blame GHMC. Garbage management and animal birth control are basic civic duties. We pay taxes for these services. Accountability is needed, not just sympathy tweets from Delhi.

This happens in so many colonies. Stray dogs become aggressive when they form packs. The passerby who rescued him is a real hero. Hope the government provides a compensation package for the family's trauma and future needs of the child.

As a Hyderabadi, I'm ashamed. Our city is becoming unsafe for children to play. The municipal workers need to do their job properly. Clean the streets, remove garbage dumps, and conduct regular ABC programs. Enough of this negligence.

Terrible incident. But we must also think humanely about the dogs. They are a problem because of our garbage. Sterilize them, vaccinate them, and manage waste. Simply removing or harming them isn't a lasting solution. The child's safety and animal welfare must be balanced.
