Another victim, Sanu Devi, was bitten by the dog when she was sitting outside her house. “The number of stray dogs has increased like never before. We have complained to Mango Municipal Corporation several times. But no action was ever taken. We are helpless as we cannot do anything to prevent repetition of such incidents,” she said.
