Tiruppur’s Palladam municipality witnessed a disturbing incident as eight stray dogs were found dead under mysterious circumstances across three wards over two days. Five dogs were discovered on Sunday and three more on Monday in SKR Nagar, Mahalakshmipuram, Senthottam, Jayaprakash Street, and Karuparayan Kovil Street in Wards 5, 8, and 9. Local residents alerted municipal health officials and police, who visited the sites and began an investigation.
