SHILLONG: A rabid Alsatian dog created mayhem in Mawroh and Golf Link areas of the city biting and injuring as many as 14 people including minor children on Wednesday evening.
It is reported that the dog first bit a young girl Ibarisha Nongkhlaw at Mawlai Mawroh. After this, the dog bit half a dozen people at Pynthorbah and another half a dozen at Langkyrding, Golf Link.
Besides Ibarisha, others who were also injured include Wankitbok Nongkhlaw, Shaima Marak, Damankhraw Kupar Kharlyngdoh, Mebanshan Syiem, Rishan Marboh, Odhir Dey, Naphi Lyngdoh and Sony Sing.
Incidentally, some of the residents informed about the dog menace to the staff of the Shillong Municipal Board (SMB), but were told that they would be able to hunt down the dog only on Thursday since no one was present in the office.
On learning of the incident, Health and Family Welfare Minister and local legislator A.L. Hek rushed to Pasteur Institute to meet those who were receiving treatment.
Hek assured that all the victims would be provided with free anti-rabies vaccination.
Meanwhile, Hek also informed that he has directed the SMB to immediately trace the rabid dog.
