Srinagar: An eight-year-old girl was mauled to death by stray dogs in the Pulwama district of south Kashmir, officials said on Monday.
They said Zobia Gulzar, a resident of the Beighpora locality in Awantipora, was attacked by the dogs near her house.
The minor girl was rushed to a local hospital but was referred to a facility here as she had suffered grievous injuries, they said.
The officials said the girl succumbed during treatment.
There has been a steep rise in the dog population in Kashmir due to a ban on the culling of strays.
