At least ten people, including children and elderly residents, were injured in stray dog attacks over two days in several areas of Saghata upazila in Gaibandha district. Locals reported that packs of aggressive stray dogs have been roaming freely in markets, roads, and neighborhoods, disrupting daily life and spreading fear. Many victims had to travel to Gaibandha or Bogura to receive rabies vaccinations due to the lack of supply at local facilities.
Residents and business owners expressed growing concern over the uncontrolled stray dog population, noting frequent attacks in crowded market areas. The chairman of Bharatkhali Union Parishad confirmed awareness of the incidents and said the matter had been reported to the upazila administration. Health officials acknowledged that the Saghata Upazila Health Complex has had no rabies vaccine supply for a year, leaving patients in distress.
The upazila livestock officer stated that a special team has been formed to control the situation. Plans include deploying a dog-catching team and initiating vaccination drives for stray dogs to prevent further incidents.
