The deceased has been identified as Lavanya, daughter of Kerlinga.

Fifteen days ago, seven children were attacked by a stray dog ​​while they were playing. Lavanya was bitten on the back of her neck and other parts of her body.

Lavanya was discharged from the hospital two days ago and was undergoing treatment at her residence. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries. The other children who were attacked by the dog are still undergoing treatment.

Lavanya's father Kerlinga said that his daughter was attacked right in front of their residence.

He urged the authorities to take action to ensure that other children in the village do not meet the same fate as his daughter.

Villagers said that till date the officials have not visited the village and collected information about the affected children. The villagers had killed the dog on the day of the attack.

Samagakunta village panchayat development officer Cariappa said he got information about the incident on Tuesday and would visit the village.

He said a rescue team would be sent to search for stray dogs attacking people.

He said, "We got information that the dog was not local and had strayed from a different area. While going to another place, it attacked the children."

The villagers have expressed anger accusing the officials of negligence.
