Residents of Viceroy Park in Thakur Village, Kandivli East, have alleged that a rise in the number of stray dogs around their housing complex has led to a series of dog bite incidents, with three residents reportedly attacked in July.

The residents claim the dogs began appearing a few months ago after several were allegedly abandoned near the society. They have since formed packs and are frequently seen around the complex, particularly during the early morning and late evening hours. Residents say repeated complaints to the BMC and local representatives have not resulted in any concrete action. The civic body, however, said it would look into the matter.
