    Kerala child rights organisation will seek permission from the Supreme Court to kill aggressive stray dogs
    Nihal, an 11-year-old special needs kid, died on June 11 after being bitten by a pack of stray dogs outside his home in Muzhappilangad, near Kannur, Kerala. He was critically injured and was transported to the hospital, but he could not be rescued.

    Digital Desk: The Kerala
    State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KSCPCR) investigated the death
    of an 11-year-old boy in Kannur after he was mauled by stray dogs. The child
    rights organisation stated that it will petition the Supreme Court for
    authorization to kill the dangerous stray dogs.

    The occurrence was
    described as "tragic and heart-wrenching" by KV Manoj Kumar, Chairman
    of the KSCPCR, and the commission would investigate whether there were any
    errors on the part of the authorities. "We want to protect children, not
    dogs." "Children and the general public should be protected," he
    said.

    Nihal, an 11-year-old special needs kid, died on June 11 after
    being bitten by a pack of stray dogs outside his home in Muzhappilangad, near
    Kannur, Kerala. He was critically injured and was transported to the hospital,
    but he could not be rescued.


    "The Commission will
    do everything possible within its jurisdiction." A case has been filed at
    this time. "The commission is looking into three more cases involving
    children being attacked by dogs," Kumar added.

    The Kerala State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) has already interfered
    in the case. According to a PTI report, both commissions opened their own
    investigations into the incident and demanded a full report from the
    Muzhappilangad grama panchayat within two weeks.

    According to KV Manoj
    Kumar, the child rights panel requested detailed reports from the Secretary of
    Local Self Government, the Secretary of the District Panchayat, and the SHO of
    the Edakkad Police within two weeks.
