A local resident was recently bitten by a stray dog at Morjim beach, raising serious concerns among the community about the increasing presence of stray animals in the area. The incident has triggered a wave of public outcry, with citizens urging authorities to take immediate and effective measures to curb the stray dog menace.
Residents say this is not an isolated case, and several similar incidents have gone unreported. With Morjim being a popular tourist destination, locals worry that unchecked stray populations could pose safety risks to both residents and visitors.
Calls have been made to local authorities and animal welfare bodies to implement sterilization drives, improve monitoring, and ensure public safety measures are in place.
