Six-year-old boy dies after stray dog attack in Ambajogai, Beed
Farhan Aas Mohammad Qureshi died during treatment after a pack of stray dogs attacked him in Roshan Colony, and residents want the municipal council to act.
A six-year-old boy has died during treatment after a pack of stray dogs attacked him in Roshan Colony in Ambajogai town of Beed district. The child has been named as Farhan Aas Mohammad Qureshi. A mood of grief has settled over the town.
Farhan lived in Roshan Colony. A few days ago, a pack of stray dogs suddenly attacked him and left him badly injured. The incident caused panic in the neighbourhood.
He was rushed to hospital and was initially treated in Ambajogai itself. When his condition worsened, he was taken to Latur for further treatment.
Doctors in Latur made every effort to save him. His family and neighbours hoped he would recover, but Farhan died while undergoing treatment. His family has been devastated by the death of a child of just six.
The incident has brought the stray dog problem in Ambajogai back into focus. Residents have long complained that the number of stray dogs is rising in different parts of the town. They say small children and the elderly walking along the roads live in fear of dogs. Packs are often seen roaming the streets, raising questions about public safety.
After Farhan's death, the demand is growing for immediate action on the problem. Residents want the municipal council to take the matter seriously and adopt firm measures to protect citizens. Schoolchildren, young children and the elderly face a greater risk from stray dog attacks, and the departments concerned are being urged to put preventive measures in place.
The death of a six-year-old has heightened concern among residents, who are now watching what steps the municipal council and the administration take.
