Youth Congress workers staged a protest by carrying the dummy of a dog at the District Collectorate here on Saturday. The protesters accused the district administration of turning a blind eye to the increasing incidents of dog bites and stray dog menace in Palakkad.
Leading the protest, Youth Congress parliamentary committee president K. Saddam Hussain said the State and district administration were ignoring people’s safety.
He alleged that the government was behaving as a private agent of rabies vaccine-makers. “The God’s own country has become dogs’ own country. The municipality has failed its people by shoddy waste management. It is helping the stray dogs to multiply,” Mr. Hussain said.
