Noida: On Monday, a stray dog attacked and killed an infant in an apartment building in Noida, close to Delhi. After the tragedy, there have been numerous protests, and incensed citizens have accused local authorities of neglecting to respond to complaints about dogs endangering their safety.
According to police inspector Rajneesh Verma, the incident happened yesterday at around 4.30 p.m. at the Lotus Boulevard residences in Sector 100 of Noida.

The seven-month-old child was attacked by a dog that had strayed into the apartment complex, leaving him with severe injuries that required hospitalisation.

Rajneesh Yadav, one of the locals, stated, "Unfortunately, we lost the child late last night."

Some locals drove the dog-catchers away

Authorities were called in, according to the police, to round up stray dogs in the neighbourhood. According to reports, some locals drove the dog-catchers away when they arrived.

Following the incident, a sizable crowd of locals gathered to call on the police and municipal organisations to take measures to assure safety from stray dogs.
Residents in protest said that the civic organisation had neglected to sterilise and immunise the dogs.

A local named Vinod Sharma claimed that the dogs had turned feral and posed a serious threat to youngsters.

Neighbor's practise of feeding stray dogs be curtailed, residents complain

Our children play in the vicinity, and people keep feeding the dogs. The dogs have turned violent, and there is an incident every two months. We keep raising our concerns, but nothing is ever done, Mr. Sharma said.
The Supreme Court maintained a Delhi High Court ruling that permitted colony dwellers to feed stray canines earlier this year. It has previously put the High Court order on hold because it might make the stray dog situation worse.

The case began with a disagreement between two neighbourhood neighbours. One of them had gone to court to ask that his neighbor's practise of feeding stray dogs be curtailed.
