Dear Friends,
Namaskaram.
World Environment Day is celebrated across the globe on 5th June. On this occasion, we would like to share a heartwarming story with our readers.
In June 2016, a dog fell into the deep and slippery Sayran Reservoir in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and was unable to climb the steep concrete walls. A passerby who attempted to rescue the dog also became trapped. Witnessing their plight, several strangers spontaneously joined hands to form a human chain down the embankment, successfully rescuing both the man and the dog.
