Stray dog menace in Lunglei town

Aizawl, Nov 8 (PTI) Stray dogs have caused serious problem in south Mizoram's Lunglei town with at least 30 people being bitten by dogs during October alone, police today said. A senior police officer told PTI over phone that more than 30 people have been treated for dog bite during last month and there was a possibility of unreported cases. More than 100 people have been bitten by dogs in the streets during the past few months, in the town, the officer said. While the costs of anti-rabies injections have been usually borne by the owners of the canines, there were some cases where the victims have to bear the costs, he added.
