Forty-nine people, including children, women, and elderly residents, were injured on Wednesday afternoon when a rabid dog attacked pedestrians in various areas of Kulaura municipality in Moulvibazar. The victims received treatment at the Kulaura Upazila Health Complex. Among the injured were 40 men, 7 women, and 2 children. Locals later killed the dog after it bit multiple people in neighborhoods such as Joypasha, Magura, Bishrakandi, and Uttar Bazar.
Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Zakir Hossain said that 16 of the injured received free government-provided vaccines, but the hospital ran out of stock later that morning. Due to the shortage, other victims had to purchase vaccines privately. The Kulaura municipality had earlier supplied 300 doses to the hospital, but no government vaccines remain. The shortage has been reported to higher authorities.
Municipal administrator and Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md. Mohiuddin stated that more vaccines will be purchased soon. He added that under current law, the municipality cannot conduct dog culling operations despite the rising number of stray dog attacks.
