(MENAFN- Live Mint) "Congress leader Karti P Chidambaram on Tuesday called for the need for a national task force to deal with the stray dogs issues at the earliest. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Karti said that an ethical and scientific approach is needed.
“We need a national task force to deal with the #StrayDogs issue immediately. An ethical & scientific approach is needed. Expecting inadequately equipped local administration authorities to deal with this is pointless. I have highlighted the seriousness & urgency to the @PMOIndia,\" he said.
This came after Wagh Bakri Tea Group executive director Parag Desai died at a hospital here in Gujarat of severe brain injuries days as he fell on a hard surface while being chased by stray dogs during an evening walk, a company official said on Monday per PTI reports, the private hospital where Desai was admitted immediately after the fall on October 15 evening, however, said no marks of dog bite were found on his body.

A CT scan revealed acute subdural hematoma with bilateral frontal contusion. Desai was admitted to the ICU and advised to be kept under observation and treatment for 72 hours,\" it said as quoted by PTI.
Police informed that Sarkhej police in the city have registered a case of accidental death. Further investigation is underway.
