Municipal Corporation Of Thane — Street dog nearly bit me today

Address:

Thane

I am a resident of Saket Towers. There are several street dogs here that cause trouble. Almost every night they howl disturb our sleep. They sometimes bark and follow too. It was all tolerable until today(01/04/2021). I was coming from my evening walk and a dog nearly bit my butt, but thankfully he didn't. It then started barking and trying to attack me but thank god the watchman uncle helped me. He said the dog is crazy and nearly gets behind anyone. What if it is affected by rabies? What if it would have bitten me? I am 18 and I don't want rabies or any infection which could be passed on by a dog bite. In short, I don't want to be bitten by a dog and get 14 injections. There has been an exponential rise in dog bites complaints in Thane since 2017. The complaints rose to 557 in 2019-20 from 54 in 2017-18(source: www.freepressjournal.in an article named Thane Municipal Corporation sees rise in dog bite complaints written on date 6th December 2020, day: Sunday time:5:59AM IST). I request the concerned authority to take reasonable measures to control this situation or there might be cases rabies sooner or later
