500 dogs killed in a week in Telangana villages

In the Gram Panchayat elections, a promise was made to provide relief from stray dogs !

Hyderabad (Telangana) – Information has emerged that more than 500 dogs have been killed in Telangana in the past week. These killings have taken place after the Gram Panchayat elections. According to the police, the involvement of panchayat representatives is coming to light in these incidents. During the recently held Gram Panchayat elections, some candidates had promised to address the problem of stray dogs and monkeys. It is being alleged that after winning the elections, these promises are being fulfilled by killing the dogs.

Case registered against village heads

Reports indicate that around 200 stray dogs were killed over the past 2–3 days in five villages of Palvancha mandal in Kamareddy district—Bhavanipet, Palvancha, Faridpet, Wadi, and Bandaramshwarapalli. In connection with the incident, police have registered cases against six individuals, including five Village heads. Earlier, a similar incident was reported in Shyamapet and Arepalli villages of Hanumakonda district, where nearly 300 stray dogs were killed between January 6 and January 9. Police had registered cases against nine individuals in that matter, including two women Village heads and their husbands.

Allegation of killing dogs by administering poisonous injections

The village headman is accused of using poisonous injections to kill dogs. A person had been hired for this purpose. The carcasses of the killed dogs were buried outside the village. Upon receiving the information, veterinary teams exhumed the bodies and conducted post-mortem examinations. Samples have been collected and sent to the laboratory to determine the exact cause of death and the type of poison used.

Editorial Perspective

This underscores how widespread and serious the stray dog issue has become. The fact that electoral candidates are offering assurances on this matter suggests shortcomings in administrative responsibility. As the problem persists across the nation, a coordinated and urgent response is necessary !
