Stray bull attacks girl, 12, in Jamalpur

Ludhiana: A stray bull attacked a 12-year-old girl outside her house in Jamalpur on Thursday.
Kritika, a student of Class VIII, along with her friend was returning home from a market on a bicycle when the bull charged towards her. Her friend had a narrow escape.
Her father, Sushil Singh, said, “On hearing Kritika shouting for help, we rushed out and saw her crying in pain. The area residents had driven the animal away.”
He blamed the authorities for not lifting stray cattle from the area roads.
Ward 23 councillor Sandeep Kumari handed over a memorandum to the MC officials on Friday, seeking early lifting of stray cattle from the ward. “The problem is increasing due to illegal dairy units here,” she said.
