A 28-year-old Belapur resident was attacked by a stray dog for the third time in four months while taking her pet dog out for a stroll. The attack was so severe that she has sustained several wounds on her thighs and knees.

Priyanka Pawar, the victim said that she had tried to get in touch with the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) to register a complaint about the stray dog menace several times in the past but got no response. "Are the NMMC officials waiting for a bigger tragedy to happen before taking action?," she asked.
