Dogs, dogs and only dogs. This is the buzzword captivating
the length and breadth of the news dailies of the valley these days. Dogs are insanely on
prowl in Srinagar streets giving a tough time for a common Kashmiri.
As an add-on to this ironically rueful happening I would
like to share a jolly but heedful experience. A few days back I joyously started
a dog count while riding pillion with my brother. To my
amazement I found a whooping count of 400 dogs only from Broadway to SKIMS
Soura, a distance of around 10Km, thereby gauging the ratio to 40 dogs/ km.
This naïve figure although a doodle should act as a food for thought for the
concerned authorities who still are catching Z’s in their rest rooms unaware of
the dog spread.
