Delhi Flood: How A Few Good Folk Are Saving Animals

Heavy rains pounded Delhi for the last couple of days, turning roads into rivers and submerging entire localities. The flood-like situation is likely to persist in the next few days as one of the heaviest and continuous rainfall struck the national capital.

The suffering of animals is no less than that of humans due to the relentless torrential rainfall. Amid the deluge in Delhi, several good Samaritans came forward to rescue the animals stranded in the flooded areas in Delhi.

More than 700 cattle were also moved to safety from submerged locations along Yamuna banks by the rescue team.

A photograph of a young boy carrying a dog to safety in a flood-affected area is winning hearts online.

A video tweeted by ANI shows the shirtless boy carrying the dog on his shoulder while wading through water in the Mayur Vihar area of Delhi.

Visuals of police rescuing animals like Cattle, dogs, cats, horses, and even camels have emerged on social media.

Meanwhile, a group of four animal lovers braved the floods to locate hungry strays who needed their help.

"Amid the floods in Delhi East (Mayur Vihar), numerous furry friends from the Yamuna Basin have sought shelter in the upper regions. We're on a mission to feed and care for these 250+ strays in the affected zone. It's a tough time for animals too, and your support matters! Join us in making a difference by donating or volunteering. Together, let's show them that they're not alone," a Twitter user said.
