Two stray dogs in Kudhni block, Muzaffarpur, bit more than 20 people. Anti‑rabies injections were administered to 14 victims, but the stock ran out, leaving several untreated.
In the Kudhni block of Muzaffarpur district, Bihar, two stray dogs launched an unprovoked attack, biting over 20 individuals who were present in the area. The victims sustained varying degrees of injuries, primarily puncture wounds from the dogs' teeth.
Local health officials reported that anti‑rabies injections were promptly given to 14 of the bitten persons. However, the supply of the vaccine ran out during the emergency response, forcing several victims to leave the clinic without receiving the prophylactic shot.
The incident has prompted the district administration to request additional anti‑rabies stock and to consider measures such as dog capture, vaccination drives, and public awareness campaigns to prevent similar outbreaks in the future.
