LANDIKOTAL: As many as eight persons including a minor girl have bitten by mad-dogs here in on Thursday. As per details, at least a dozen mad dogs are wandering in Landikotal bazaar and in Agency Head quarter hospital (AHQ) that have made the lives of the local residents miserable. Agency surgeon and political administration is not taking serious action to kill the mad and wanderers’ dogs. Two cases Thursday registered in AHQ hospital Landikotal. Farhad, a father of minor girl “Hafsa” (4) bitten by mad dog has expressed to media men in landikotal that “rabies” vaccines were not available in the hospital store and was compelled to buy it from open market that have cost Rs.3500/dose. The other who had been bitten by mad dogs were identified as zahid,Inam Gul , Najmuddin and Fazal Amin. Social circle and civil society members Khalil Shinwari, Haroon and Ayaz khan have showed deep concern over the terrible condition of Landikotal and demanded of the governor NWFP Owais Ahmad Ghani and director health services fata to take serious action and provide all kinds of the vaccines including rabies.
I remember visiting Montpellier the late summer of 2001, where there was a similar problem. Dogs were running all over the place, and the whole city literally smelled. I do not know if there was an issue with rabies there, but the officials certainly was under some pressure to solve the situation there as well.
Well you don't go up to dogs you don't know.And to the kid's that got bit there parents should have been watching them so they didn't approach the dog.So they were asking for it.
So you really argue that they have themselves to blame for being injured and that the parents are to blame? Have you ever been in a country where they have rabies dogs?
Jawad, They must have some form of goverment, even if it is the political agent or the tribal elder. But I think media would be more effective to get other parts of Pakistan involved.
Hello, as you reported in the blog that the media must play its important role which can involve the other parts of the pakistan.offcourse all the concern people are playing their role in this regard but some or we can say that most of the officers are involve in stealling the medicines from the hospitals of the areas like landi kotal and other remote areas.you must find most of the governament provided medicines in the market.because they sell it on black and then fillup the list of the patients with temporary names.what i'm saying is 100% based on facts and thats what i saw in my last five years journalistic period.
