A pack of stray dogs attacked 14 children playing in front of their homes in Shahenshah Nagar on Wednesday. The injured children are receiving treatment at the SNR District Hospital, while the seriously injured Kulsum (5), Shakina (4) and Tasleem (5) are being treated at the R L Jalappa Hospital.
There are many butcher shops in the vicinity and the waste thrown onto the streets from these shops attract stray dogs. Earlier, the dogs have attacked riders and passersby. Numerous complaints to the municipal authorities about the dog attacks and the reckless disposal of waste on the streets have gone unheard, said the local residents and parents of the injured children.

Dead Minke whale on the beach at St Andrews
A 23ft whale has washed up on a popular Scots beach after becoming tangled in fishing gear and drowning.
The mammal, which is believed to be an adult male Minke whale, was spotted lying on the West Sands beach in St Andrews, Fife, on Wednesday evening.
Experts from the SRUC's Marine Animal Strandings Scheme travelled to the scene today to carry out an autopsy on the massive mammal.
Members of the public are being urged not to touch the whale and to simply observe it from afar over fears the animal could be carrying infectious bacteria.
Expert Dr Andrew Brownlow said: "There's a huge public interest in this because they're amazing animals that are from our coastline and I think there's a certain level of wonder about the size of them given that they are mammals.
A surfer is in a critical condition after a shark bit off his leg at a beach in Western Australia.
Ben Gerring, 29, was in the water near Mandurah, south of Perth, when the attack occurred.
The attack occurred at around 16:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Tuesday, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Local media reports said Mr Gerring was resuscitated before he was taken to hospital. He has undergone surgery and remains in a critical condition.
"He was right out the back looking to get a big wave, one of the set waves that had been coming through during the day," Brian Williams, president of the Mandurah Boardriders Club and friend of the victim, told ABC.
A dying female dwarf sperm whale got stranded in shallow water near the shore on Friday May 27, just meters away from the Reef Hotel in Telchac; specialists tried to save it by keeping it at sea, but the cetacean only survived a few more hours and finally passed away.
At 6 am an employee of the State Ministry of Urban Development and Environment, who guards the turtle camp on the beach near the Reef Hotel, spotted the sperm whale near the coast and reported the situation to his superiors.
Minutes after the report, marine biologist Diana Madeleine Antochiw Alonzo arrived to Telchac, she is a specialist in marine mammals, mainly whales, and had dedicated part of her career to the research of strandings.
The biologist found the sperm whale alive and, with help from members of the local PROFEPA station, kept the cetacean at sea, trying to save it.
People are being warned to stay away from a breach after the body of a dead whale washed up on the sand.
The Humber Coast Guard said the small mammal is thought to have been dead for some time as it was starting to decompose on Marske beach, East Cleveland.
Tim Burns, from New Marske, spotted the whale, which is about 12 to 15 foot long, in the water at around 7am as he was walking his dog.
He said: "We were just walking along when I noticed something floating in the shallow water.
"I wasn't sure what to think at first, I thought it might have been a small overturned boat, but as I got closer I could see the colours and shape of a whale.

A hospital official confirmed Monday evening that a woman swimming in a wetsuit off the coast of Corona del Mar was attacked by a shark.
"Her injuries appear to be consistent with a shark bite," said Jeff Corliss, a spokesman with Orange County Global Medical Center. "She is expected to survive."
The yet unidentified Orange County woman - who is recovering at the Santa Ana hospital - was attacked Sunday afternoon about 150 yards off Corona del Mar State Beach. She was found at 4:15 p.m. by Newport Beach lifeguards on a routine boat patrol of the water when she frantically waved her hands from the water. She was conscious and able to talk to them.
A press conference is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Corliss said. More details of the shark attack, injuries, and the woman's condition are expected to be revealed then, he said.
A Florida teenager suffered "a huge gash" on his leg in a shark attack on Sunday afternoon, officials and a witness said.
The Neptune Beach Police Department said the teen was pulled from the surf by other swimmers after he was bitten on the leg. The lacerations were consistent with a 5- to 6-foot shark, police added.
The victim was transported to a local hospital where he is in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries, according to police. The force said "bites of this nature are extremely rare for our area" but urged beachgoers to "exercise caution" in the water.
One witness told NBC station WLTV that he was at a beach east of Jacksonville just before 3 p.m. ET when he heard a yell — then saw a woman carrying a boy out of the water.
"Someone [was] saying, 'Oh, my God, he got bit,'" the witness, who wasn't identified, told the station. "All you see is blood dripping and dripping."
The victim is 13-years-old, according to the station.
A Holland America cruise ship arrived in Seward Sunday morning with a dead fin whale draped against its bow, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Crew members discovered the dead whale just as the massive Zaandam cruise ship was preparing to dock in Seward at 5:06 a.m. Sunday, Holland America spokeswoman Sally Andrews wrote in a statement Sunday. It appeared to be lodged on top of a bulbous part of the bow just under the water.
"We were saddened by this event," Andrews wrote.
After the whale was reported, investigators from NOAA and members of the Alaska Marine Mammal Stranding Network and Alaska SeaLife Center were dispatched to the scene, said NOAA spokeswoman Julie Speegle. Initially they believed the animal was a juvenile humpback whale, but it was ultimately identified as a fin whale, Speegle said.

But it died just days later after its mother trampled it to death 'out of fear', despite previously allowing it to feed from her
Farmer Galymzhan Uteuliev explained: "I was shocked when I saw it for the first time.
