In a shocking revelation, stray dog attacks have injured over 300,000 people across Sindh in 2024, according to official health department records. The alarming figure highlights the growing threat posed by the unchecked population of stray dogs in the province.
The worst-hit areas include Karachi, Hyderabad, and rural districts, where limited access to healthcare exacerbates the crisis. Many victims, including children, have been left vulnerable to serious injuries and rabies due to insufficient vaccination and treatment facilities.
Health experts have urged authorities to intensify vaccination drives and spay-neuter campaigns to curb the stray dog population. However, locals express frustration over the lack of a sustainable and humane solution.
The Sindh government has pledged to address the issue with renewed focus in 2025, promising collaboration with non-governmental organizations to protect citizens and stray animals alike.
