Residents of sectors 17 A and B as well as the Iffco Colony in Gurgaon are facing the menace of dog bites.
The sectors have around 2,000 homes, and houses mostly senior citizens retired from defence forces and other administrative services. They are scared to step out of homes.
Residents allege that there are two to three dog-bite cases every day.
“I was bitten by a dog recently while taking a stroll after dinner. It was lonely at the time, and the dog just snapped at me! It bit me on my leg,” said Anil Kumar, a resident of Sector 17B.
The issue has been highlighted, but no action has been taken by the authorities.
Savita Yadav, an active resident, said, “This is a serious issue, and we will certainly write to the authorities to get us help.”
