Dog Bites Spike In Noida, Health Department Flags 34 Danger Zones
The health department has flagged 34 hotspots for dog bites across Uttar Pradesh's Noida district. According to official figures, 69,188 dog bite cases were reported between January and May this year. The hotspots were identified based on the number of anti-rabies vaccines administered in the region, as per a report in The Times Of India. A detailed list is expected to be displayed at all primary health centres soon. Dog Bite Hotspots In Noida The areas identified as high-risk include: Noida sectors 130, 110, 45, 5 Khoda, Nangli Vazidpur, Haldoni, Nangala Charandas, Dujana, Achchheja, Palwari Sadarpur, Barola, Harola (Sector 5), JJ Colony in Sector 8 and 9 Thora (Jewar), Patwadi, Chaprola, Mirjapur Omicron sectors 1, 2, 3 Atta Fatehpur, Jalpura, Kherli Hafizpur, Usmanpur, Canarsi Mohalla-Traders, Jahangirpur, Rabupura, Faleda, and Torah Mostly located in Bhangel, Bisrakh, and Dankaur blocks, these areas have seen a sharp rise in stray dog activity. In March alone, 11,599 people were bitten by strays. January and February recorded 9,383 and 10,174 cases, respectively. Dr Tikam Singh, Noida's Deputy Chief Medical Officer, urged residents to stay cautious around strays and seek immediate treatment in case of a bite. This week, the Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of a TOI report talking about the growing menace of stray dogs in Delhi. The report mentioned the death of a six-year-old girl from rabies, and another severe attack on a four-year-old boy. The court has asked for the report to be treated as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and placed before the Chief Justice for further directions. In response, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi has announced a sterilisation and immunisation campaign targeting 70%-80% of stray dogs in 12 assembly constituencies. Plans are underway to set up 20 new dog shelters across the city. The last official count (2022-23) placed Delhi's stray dog population at nearly 10 lakh. At Safdarjung Hospital alone, 91,009 dog bite cases have been registered this year, averaging 249 cases per day. Officials have stressed on the importance of timely rabies vaccination, especially when a dog's saliva contacts broken skin or mucous membranes. In more serious cases, Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) is given along with the anti-rabies vaccine. About 44,520 animal bite incidents were reported in the district this year, including 2,193 monkey bites (844 in March alone) and 697 cat bites.

5 Hospitals, 4 Districts: Soldier's 1-Year-Old Son Dies After Being Denied Treatment In Uttarakhand
An internal inquiry later confirmed that the 108 ambulance service caused a delay of nearly three hours. Staff responsible for the lapse have been removed from duty A one-year-old boy died after being turned away or referred from five hospitals across four districts over six days in Uttarakhand, The Times of India reported. The child, Shivansh Joshi, son of an Army jawan posted along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, died on July 15 after battling for medical care across remote hill regions. His tragic death has spotlighted the glaring gaps in healthcare infrastructure in the state's remote areas, prompting Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to order a high-level investigation. In a post on X, CM Dhami said, 'The news of the death of an innocent child in Bageshwar due to negligence in medical treatment is extremely painful and unfortunate." He added that if negligence is found at any level, 'the strictest action" will be taken. Shivansh first fell ill on July 10 with vomiting and dehydration in Chidanga village, Chamoli district. His mother and grandmother walked 3 km through a forest to reach the nearest community health centre. However, the facility lacked paediatric care and referred them to Baijnath. At Baijnath, the child received only basic first aid and an ultrasound, and was then referred to the district hospital in Bageshwar. According to TOI, Shivansh's father, Dinesh Joshi, said doctors at Bageshwar barely examined his son and told the family to go to Almora. Joshi, speaking from Jammu and Kashmir, said the ambulance took hours to arrive and came only after he contacted the District Magistrate. By the time Shivansh reached Bageshwar, his condition had worsened significantly. Chief Medical Officer Dr Kumar Aditya Tiwari said the child had continuous seizures, high fever, and suspected brain damage. Without an MRI or paediatric ICU, the hospital referred him again. He was taken to Almora Medical College, which had a paediatric ICU, but doctors reportedly failed to stabilise him. He was finally shifted to Sushila Tiwari Hospital in Haldwani, where he died in the ICU on July 15. An internal inquiry later confirmed that the 108 ambulance service caused a delay of nearly three hours. Staff responsible for the lapse have been removed from duty, and a report is being submitted to higher authorities. Despite being moved from hospital to hospital, including facilities in Chamoli, Bageshwar, Almora, and Haldwani—Shivansh's condition deteriorated rapidly. His death after being denied timely, adequate care across five hospitals has sparked outrage and renewed scrutiny over healthcare access in the state's hilly regions. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
