Stray Dog Attacks Prompt School Closures and Security Deployment in Rajouri, J&K
In Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, stray dog attacks have led to the closure of around 45 schools in the Kotranka subdivision to protect children. At least nine people were bitten over two days, with victims receiving anti-rabies treatment and no serious injuries reported. Authorities, including police, CRPF, veterinary teams, and village defence guards, have been deployed to capture the dogs and ensure public safety. The closures are a precautionary measure amid local concern and disruption to schooling.
