Dog goes on a rampage,bites 18 people in Panjim
HERALD REPORTER - PANJIM, JAN 5
In a shocking incident, a street dog, which had gone out of its senses, held
the capital city to virtual ransom for around two and half hours.
The dog bit around 18 individuals in the two and half hours creating a panicky
situation around the city.
It all started at 10 am near the Panjim market area (near Poshak) when the dog
bit one passer by and then it went all around the city right through the
Weekender showroom near Don Bosco, to the Panjim police station and then
reached the Azad Maidan area.
A scribe, policemen, students, advocate, teacher and several others were
amongst its victims.
A person speaking to Herald said that they called up the CCP office two three
times but there was no response.
Finally, the CCP tempo came at around 12.30 and picked him up, said one Nilesh
Naik, a student, whose friend was also a victim.
Other eyewitnesses narrating the harrowing incident said that the dog had
become so wild it was attacking anything and everything he could see, be it
vehicle or a human being.
“He did not even spare the other street dogs and even bit them. We were just
hiding for our lives,” people present on the scene said.
Moreover, when the victims rushed to the Panjim health centre for treatment
they couldn’t believe their luck as the attendants said that they did not have
the anti-rabbies injection and also it was lunch time.
Some people rushed to GMC while some who couldn’t wait for the injections to
arrive at the health centre.
People who went to GMC too did not get the injection and had to buy their own
at the cost of Rs 300, the victims said.

Only tells about the pathetic state of Medical Services in Government
Hospitals, and moreover at the GMC. Such is the condition under our very able
and health conscious Health Minister. May he remain healthy always.
