Rabid dog attacks
8/21/2024 10:51:34 PM

In a disturbing incident in Poonch district a rabid dog attacked 12 individuals, including school children and women, leaving them injured and raising serious concerns about public safety. This alarming event is not an isolated case but rather a reflection of a growing problem across the entire Jammu region.
The surge in the population of rabid dogs poses a significant threat to residents, demanding immediate and effective measures to address this crisis.
The recent attack in Poonch highlights the urgency of addressing the rabid dog population, which has been increasing across Jammu. This rise not only endangers human lives but also places a substantial burden on local healthcare systems, which must manage the immediate and often costly treatment of rabies exposure.
The impact of such attacks extends beyond the physical injuries sustained by victims. Psychological trauma, fear of future attacks, and the potential for rabies infection contribute to the broader societal implications of this issue. For school children and women, who are often more vulnerable, the psychological scars and the disruption to their daily lives can be profound.
Several factors contribute to the increasing population of rabid dogs in Jammu. One significant issue is the lack of effective stray dog control programs. Stray dogs, which often lack access to proper veterinary care and rabies vaccinations, are more likely to become rabid and pose a threat to public safety. Additionally, the unregulated feeding of stray dogs by well-meaning but misinformed individuals can exacerbate the problem by supporting the growth of the stray dog population without addressing the root causes of rabies.
To tackle this crisis, a multi-faceted approach is required. First and foremost, local authorities must implement robust stray dog control measures. This includes the establishment of comprehensive sterilization and vaccination programs to manage the stray dog population and prevent the spread of rabies. Regular and widespread vaccination campaigns are essential to create a barrier against the disease and reduce the incidence of rabid dogs.
Public awareness campaigns also play a crucial role. Educating residents about the dangers of rabies, the importance of avoiding contact with stray dogs, and the need to report stray dog sightings can help mitigate the risk of attacks. Schools and community organizations should be engaged in spreading this information to ensure that it reaches the most vulnerable populations.
The rising number of rabid dogs across Jammu demands a comprehensive and sustained response. By implementing effective control measures, raising public awareness, and ensuring access to medical treatment, we can protect the safety and well-being of residents and prevent future tragedies. Addressing this issue with the seriousness it deserves is not only a matter of public health but also of basic human dignity and security.
