A child was chased and attacked by a group of stray dogs in the Chinchwade Nagar region of Pimpri-Chinchwad, India on Sunday. The incident was captured on CCTV footage, showing four to five dogs surrounding the young victim. Local residents quickly intervened, rescuing the child and preventing a potentially life-threatening situation.
This attack has reignited concerns over the growing prevalence of stray dogs in the city, with residents demanding immediate action from the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to address the issue. In recent years, the number of dog bite cases reported in Pimpri-Chinchwad has surged, with 38,004 cases recorded in 2025-26 and a sharp increase of 13,615 cases in the first four months of the current fiscal year.
This represents a 35.25% rise over the previous year, pushing the city's total to the highest annual figure ever recorded. PCMC officials have acknowledged the rising crisis, stating that steps are being taken to expand the city's dog sterilization program and enhance medical support for victims. However, citizens and local officials are calling for more extensive measures, including a comprehensive census of stray dog populations and a significant increase in sterilization efforts, to effectively curb the alarming trend of attacks.
