  "account": "The Mardan Cantonment Board has initiated a campaign to address the growing issue of stray dogs in residential and public areas, following numerous complaints from residents about the nuisance and potential dangers they pose. Dozens of stray dogs have been removed as part of the operation, which involves the use of poisoned bait by the board's dog removal team. The campaign targets areas surrounding mosques, schools, hospitals, and other public facilities, prioritizing locations where the presence of stray dogs disrupts residents' daily routines and increases the risk of dog attacks. Dr Raza Shah, the Chief Executive Officer of the Cantonment Board, stated that the team has been deploying throughout the cantonment area to remove stray dogs from problematic localities. He emphasized that the board's action was prompted by persistent complaints from residents, particularly children, worshippers, and schoolchildren, who face difficulties and potential dangers from stray dogs. The board is committed to creating a safe and clean environment for residents and plans to continue the campaign on a regular basis to protect vulnerable members of society, including children, women, the elderly, and worshippers, from the risks associated with stray dogs.",
