Coimbatore: A stray dog on Sambandar Street at Rathinapuri in the city had bitten over 15 people in the last 10 days.Nyanasundari, a resident of Sambandar Street, said, “There are over 15 dogs at Rathinapuri area. “We will alert the NGO to immediately catch the dog from the locality,” he said.The dog shelter at Ukkadam remains closed for the past one year. This has led to the increase in stray dogs as animal birth control (ABC) programme is not carried out in the shelter. Most of the injured were elderly people as they could not move quickly once the dog starts to chase them, she said. These dogs bark at and chase outsiders but never bite them..
