Two children were bitten by stray dogs in the city’s Dhoraji area on Thursday. The area’s residents arrived at the Ferozabad police station to register a case against the Karachi administrator and the Karachi District East authorities.
Dhoraji’s former UC chairman Junaid Makati said the children suffered from the incident owing to the city administration’s negligence towards its duties.
Police said it will take further action when details of the incident are revealed by hospital authorities where the two children have been admitted.
Last month, the Sindh High Court (SHC) had ruled that if any person is bitten by a dog, the membership of the respective Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) elected from that area will be suspended.
The court’s remarks had come during the hearing of a case related to stray dogs biting people in the province. In response, the judges presiding over the case issued “strong remarks”.
Responding to the judge, the public prosecutor had said that MPAs have nothing to do with the incidents of dog bites, to which the judge said they knew to whom the respective officers paid commissions — and that the MPA must ensure people’s safety.
Last week, the Sukkur Bench of the SHC suspended the memberships of PPP lawmakers FaryalTalpur and Malik Asad Sikander from the provincial assembly over increasing dog bite cases within their constituencies.
