Residents of NG Suncity Phase 2 in Thakur Village, Kandivli East, have raised concerns about a growing stray dog menace within their housing complex. With over 460 flats and hundreds of families residing on the premises, locals say they are living in constant fear due to frequent dog attacks, repeated bites, a lack of official intervention despite numerous complaints, and a rise in the number of strays allegedly being introduced by self-proclaimed animal lovers.

“It’s been six or seven years since this problem worsened. No matter how many complaints we file, no official has been able to find a solution. Just last month, we witnessed three major attacks. One person was badly bitten and had to undergo anti-rabies treatment. Fortunately, the other two were saved by the guards,” said Rajesh Singh, secretary of the housing complex.
