As a concerned resident of Hiranandani Egattur, I have experienced how the mounting problem of stray dogs has begun to change our lives. Our kids are unable to roam freely, and peaceful walks have become increasingly challenging. This isn't just affecting our lifestyle, it's putting us at risk of serious health concerns. It was not long ago that an unfortunate incident involving a rabid dog biting a resident shook our community to its core. The community currently hosts over 100 dogs, posing an ongoing threat to public safety.

Statistics from the World Health Organization conclude that stray dogs are the main source of rabies, which kills around 59,000 people worldwide annually. Municipal authorities handling stray dogs appropriately can greatly reduce these numbers. We are calling on our local governmental bodies to heed our cry for help and adopt a systematic approach to mitigate this escalating problem.

This is not merely about the inconvenience, it's about our children's safety and the peace of a community. All we ask for is action, to prevent further incidents and help restore our community to the secure and tranquil place we once knew. Your signature can make a difference. Sign this petition to take a stand against this stray dog issue and bring out a much-needed change for Hiranandani Egattur.
