The lethargic attitude of the municipal authorities forced students and faculty of Vidyaranya High School at Saifabad to seek media's help on Monday in curbing the menace of stray dogs on school premises.
The school authorities claimed that despite their repeated appeals to the concerned authorities, the stray dog menace had continued on the school premises, putting the lives of children in great peril.
The stray dogs enter the school premises and there have been instances of the school children being attacked.
According to school authorities, all possible measures to prevent the entry of dogs into the premises had been taken and the children were also educated about the dangers of encouraging stray dogs into the school, but the danger to the schoolchildren's lives remain as long as no action is taken to trap the animals.
The measures taken by the school had failed to control the menace, the parents and faculty members of the school said.
