Collectorate in Kakkanad gripped by stray dog menace
Aggressive stray dogs have infested the Collectorate premises in Kakkanad, terrorising visitors, threatening walkers, and damaging vehicles. Employees and visitors face lunging and barking dogs daily, experiencing frequent close shaves on the grounds. Roaming in packs, the animals have taken over the parade ground and acacia thickets, while some use abandoned vehicles as makeshift dens. In a recent incident, a pack tore apart the official nameplate of the Vigilance Deputy Collector’s car. The animals enter through gaps in the perimeter despite authorities shuttering the five entrance gates every evening. Walkers who frequent the grounds face a persistent hazard from the roaming packs, making daily visits a daunting ordeal for the public.
