Lucknow: Yet another girl was mauled to death by stray dogs in Sitapur district on Sunday.
According to Sitapur superintendent of police Anand Kulkarni, Reena, 12, was attacked by dogs in Maheshpur village and succumbed to injuries later. This is the seventh such death this month and 14th in the last five months.
The official said while earlier a pack of six to eight dogs used to attack children but this time, the number of dogs was just two.
It may be recalled that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had on Friday visited Sitapur where he met families of those who had died in dig attacks. The Chief Minister had directed the district administration to take necessary steps to check the menace.
Meanwhile, animal rights activists asked the administration to ensure that there is no ‘illegal extermination’ of the canines as this would only worsen the situation and lead to more man-animal conflict.
