A woman was attacked by a pack of dogs in an apartment complex in Greater Noida, adding to the rising attacks by stray dogs. In a video that has gone viral on social media, a group of dogs can be seen attacking the woman at the Centurion Park Low Rise apartments.
As the woman entered the apartment complex located in Ecotech III, a dog could be seen barking and advancing towards her. More dogs gathered at the spot.
The woman, apparently terrified, was seen breaking into a run to get away from the pack. Later, as the woman screamed for help, a security guard and two men chased away the dogs.
Recently, a domestic help working in another apartment complex near Noida was bitten by a dog.
The incident took place at the Galaxy Royal apartments in Gaur City 2 area two days ago.
The 34-year-old woman was bitten by a German Shepherd while she was waiting on the 18th floor of the building where she worked.
According to latest data, approximately six people face dog bites every minute in the country.
Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying, Parshottam Rupala had informed the Parliament in December last year that 24.7 lakh dog bite incidents were reported from different parts of the country between January and October 2023.
The number of dog bite cases was over 17 lakh in 2021 and 21.8 lakh in 2022.
