Traffic police in Kannur, Kerala, carry batons for protection after an aggressive stray dog residing near the National Highway lunged at an officer. Traffic police officers stationed at Mele Chovva in Kannur are using lathis for self-defence following an incident where the territorial canine bit an officer on duty and sent him to hospital. The traffic police personnel deployed near the Water Authority tank compound faced the attack after the stray dog recently whelped a litter of puppies inside the compound, making her fiercely territorial and aggressive. Officers now rely on these batons to ensure they finish their shifts safely without needing emergency room treatment.
