UP: Dog Menace at Govt Healthcare Facility
"We are scared, but if we complain to the staff, they (hospital staff) say just shoo the dogs away by yourself.”
Hardoi: In a shocking way, the apathy of the district hospital in Uttar Pradesh's Sitapur came to the public eye when a number of stray dogs were spotted inside the wards of the hospital, along with patients in Hardoi.
People at the hospital claimed that the hospital administration is not taking steps to curb this menace. They told ANI, "We are scared, but if we complain to the staff, they say just shoo the dogs away by yourself."
“Some of them often follow the ward boys and nurses,” the patients claimed.
This comes a time when increasing incidents of dog attacks have rattled the Sitapur city of Uttar Pradesh. Recently, feral stray dogs in Sitapur killed dozens of children in a vicious attack.
Turning a deaf ear to the menace, State Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna on Saturday said that the government cannot be held responsible for the same.
