Reactions on the Internet

The CCTV footage of the incident has gone viral on the internet, igniting questions over the security of residents and increased cases of dog bites in the localities. While some people were also shocked that no one had even come out of their homes to help.

No one hears anything, and no one comes out to see/help? I was born in Jalandhar sad to see this. If I had been there and awake, I would have checked. Stray dogs should be either adopted or put down, a user noted.

Every minute on our streets is a battle for survival. You gotta be happy if you reach home safely, another user noted.

Stray dogs must be killed, Punjab government must pass the laws Where is Maneka Gandhi??, the third user reacted.
