RAHIM YAR KHAN: A young girl sustained injuries after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs while walking to school with her father on Tuesday morning. The incident occurred in a residential area, raising concerns about public safety and animal control measures in the region.

Local authorities reported that the girl, aged seven, was bitten multiple times before her father could intervene. She was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with several dogs surrounding the pair. The girl’s father expressed his outrage over the lack of action from local government to address the growing stray dog population.
