Market resembles dog’s den

The main market of Pind Dadan Khan has reportedly been reduced to a dismal locality, where stray animals, particularly dogs, roam around freely, making it difficult for citizens to navigate their way.

Moreover, increasing heaps of animal waste are adding to the pollution of the area.

According to reports, the main market of Pind Dadan Khan, located near Sheikh Nawazish Shaheed Chowk, has become a den for stray dogs. Shopkeepers complain that it takes them at least an hour every day to clean the streets before they can open up their shops.

Early Monday morning, a stray dog injured a shopkeeper, they added, saying that similar incidents could happen anytime with far worse consequences.

The presence of these dogs is not only dangerous for the citizens, but also disrupts the flow of traffic in the area.

Unfortunately, the administration has stayed quiet on the matter and is yet to take any action.
