In a shocking incident from the Hyde Park society in Noida’s Sector 78, two women launched an attack on an elderly couple after they objected to the women walking their dog in the housing complex without a leash. A video of the confrontation has gone viral, showcasing the heated argument as other residents attempted to intervene and protect the senior citizens.
Rising Concerns Over Stray Animals
Eyewitnesses noted that the dog was not restrained, which contributed to the elderly couple concern. The viral video highlights the growing tensions between residents regarding pet ownership and safety within the community. This incident comes at a time when the Delhi High Court is set to hear a petition addressing the increasing attacks by stray dogs and monkeys, particularly concerning the safety of persons with disabilities.

Legal Precedents Highlighting the Issue
This recent altercation is reminiscent of past cases, including one in which the Delhi High Court awarded ₹2.5 lakh in compensation to a mother whose five-month-old infant was tragically killed by a stray dog in 2008 in Tilak Nagar. Such legal precedents underscore the urgency of addressing the menace posed by stray animals in urban areas.
Similar Incidents Raise Alarm
The issue of unrestrained dogs has been further highlighted by another incident in May, where a dog jumped on a girl inside a lift in a Noida housing society, raising questions about safety measures in residential complexes.
Residents are increasingly calling for stricter regulations regarding pet ownership and the management of stray animals to ensure the safety and peace of their communities.
