The dog that bit 27 people was infected with rabies...?

A dog that bit women and children while walking on the street in Chennai's Vannarappat has been confirmed to be infected with rabies and special treatment will be given to those bitten by the dog. Vannarapettai, located in Rayapuram, a busy area of Chennai, is home to many educational institutions, shops, and offices. Due to this, lakhs of people visit the area every day. In this situation, parents took their child home after school in the evening two days ago.
