The terror unleashed by the stray dogs is seemingly never ending in Srinagar and adjacent areas where the people have been facing immense hardships in presence of the number of dogs in their respective localities. It has become a hectic process to travel in Srinagar areas, especially in the City where the number of stray dogs can be seen roaming and chasing the people. The situation has turned too hectic in the areas like Fateh Kadal, Baba Demb, Habba Kadal, Nawa Kadal, Aali Kadal and Kawdara where the stray dogs chase the people including children, making the situation uncomfortable for them to come out of their homes. Not only in the morning or evening hours, the people fear to come out of their homes in the broad-daylight as well as these stray dogs chase the people, who have been pleading to the concerned authorities to look into the matter and address the issue at an earliest. Amidst such concerns and issues being faced by the people, the concerned Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) must depute the dog catchers across Srinagar wherever the situation is miserable especially in the City areas to ensure that the sufferings of people will come to an end. At this juncture, the concerned authorities should take measures to ensure that the initiative taken by them about sterilization will be culminated by achieving the 100 per cent target so that the issue will be redressed once for all and the terror unleashed by the stray dogs will come to an end at an earliest.
