In Jaipur’s Shahpura, a stray dog attacked a 5-year-old, Sheetal Prajapat, and scratched her on 10 different places, and a lung was pierced because of the dog’s teeth. Sheetal has been admitted to the SMS Hospital in a critical condition. The dog has also injured the child’s stomach at multiple areas. Rajesh Prajapat, the attacked child’s uncle, said that on 22nd December, Sheetal, who is a student of class I at the government school, was walking to her school at 10.30 AM in the morning, and the dog attacked Sheetal at a short distance from her home.
After which the dog bit her on many places, and after people around heard the sound of her screaming, they chased the dog away. First, Sheetal was admitted to Shahpura’s government hospital. Due to the lung getting pierced, Sheetal started facing difficulty in breathing, after which the doctors referred her to SMS. Sheetal lost her father to a road accident last year, and she now lives with her mother, sister Jyoti (6), and younger brother Govind (3).
On Sunday as well, in Jyoti Nagar near the Vidhan Sabha, a dog bit an 8-year-old girl at several places. This is the 9th incident of dog bite in the last two months in ward 147 of the Malviya Nagar zone of Jaipur. 15 dogs are biting people constantly within a 500-metre distance from the Vidhan Sabha, Nigam Greater headquarters, and the zone office, but is startling to see that the administration is silent on the same and has not taken a single step to curb the menace.
