Four-year-old boy mauled to death by stray dog in Kalaburagi

Bengaluru, Oct 31 (UNI) A four-year-old boy was mauled to death by a stray dog while playing outside his house in Kalaburagi city, triggering fresh concerns over the growing menace of stray dogs and child safety in residential areas.
The deceased was identified as Manoj Pujari Jambaga, son of Sharanabasappa Pujari, a native of Jambaga village in Kalaburagi taluk. His father works as a watchman in the city, and the family resides in the Kotnur area.
The incident occurred on a street near Ganadevata Temple in the Dariyapur area, where the child was playing when a stray dog suddenly attacked him. He sustained severe bite injuries and scratches and was rushed to a hospital by his family.
However, he succumbed to his injuries despite medical treatment.
The incident has brought renewed attention to the increasing incidents of stray dog attacks on children in Kalaburagi and neighbouring areas.
In a similar incident last month, a four-year-old girl, Saanvi, was attacked by a pack of stray dogs while playing outside her house in Meenahabal village in Sedam taluk. She suffered deep injuries to her face, lips and cheeks and required stitches at the Sedam Government Hospital.
Another four-year-old boy, Gopal, was reportedly attacked by a dog in Maliabad in Raichur city earlier this year, sustaining serious injuries to his scalp.
The recurring attacks have triggered anxiety among residents, who allege that the stray dog population is increasing and that children can no longer safely play outside their homes.
Residents have urged the district administration and civic authorities to take immediate measures to control the stray dog menace and prevent further casualties.
