In Ameenpur municipal limits, a pedestrian student while moving in front of his house chased by a dog and bitten two days back. He is being treated in a private hospital in Hyderabad, according to his family members, there is no scope for a plastic surgery to treat the wounds.

The injured in attacks by both dogs and monkeys are being referred to Fever Hospital in Hyderabad after preliminary treatment here, as local government hospitals lack the necessary medicine, Dr. Veerabhadram, duty doctor, Patancheru Area Hospital, told The Hans India.

Monkeys from rural areas seem to have liked to the town. During the last two days an ape bit both children and adults.
