Rabid dog attacks 362 people

Mancherial: A rabid dog attacked and injured as many as 36 people including school-going children after attacking them at various places in Mancherial on Friday.

First the dog attacked school-going children at Vaddera Colony in Vikas Nagar. Later it went through Gouthami Nagar, Rallavagu and Lakshmi Nagar, injuring people.

The injured were being treated in Government Hospital. Even though such incidents were taking place regularly quite some time now, the officials concerned are not at all bothered to tackle the issue, the locals alleged.

The officials, on the other hand, said all the rabid dogs were put to death. Only one dog had attacked all the injured.
