Packs of stray dogs attacked and killed three children in separate incidents in the Khairabad police station area here today, officials said.
Two girls, Shamli (11) and Komal (12), and a boy, Khalid (12), were attacked and killed by stray dogs in Tikaria, Gurpulia and Khulia villages respectively, Khairabad police station incharge Sachin Kumar Singh said.
"We are forming teams with the help of villagers to counter the menace," he said.
The children were attacked by pack of dogs when they were alone and before any locals could rush to their rescue, he said.
Taking note of the incidents, the district administration has sought help from Lucknow Municipal Corporation for catching dogs as there is no dog-catching squad in Sitapur, he added.
