A 30-year-old woman named S. Jyothi was severely injured after being attacked by a stray dog near her home on Kotni Veedhi in Anakapalli on September 2, 2025. She was initially treated at NTR Hospital in Anakapalli and then referred to King George Hospital in Visakhapatnam. The attack occurred while she was engaged in household chores. Following the incident, the veterinary wing of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation captured 14 stray dogs from various parts of the town, all of which were vaccinated. Authorities later found the dog responsible for the attack dead, with suspicions that residents may have beaten it to death. The incident prompted a response from local animal control teams to manage the stray dog population in the area. (Updated 3 Sep 2025, 09:43 IST; source: link)
