The polio workers and security men who often face armed attacks throughout Pakistan, are this time targeted by a different enemy.

A polio team was attacked by stray dogs in the vicinity of Chowk Azam in the Punjab city of Layyah on Thursday, injuring one worker, reported by 24NewsHD TV channel.

Nasreen Parveen, a lady polio worker, was on duty when she was attacked and bitten by a pack of stray dogs in Layyah.  She was taken to a hospital for treatment and was later shifted to home.

Citizens of Layyah complain that despite repeated and frequent complaints, there is a deafening silence on the part of authorities on the issue stray dogs.

Pakistan has witnessed a spike in the cases of stray dogs biting, but it seems that our authorities are not ready to wake up from the deep slumber.
