A VOICE FOR CHANGE

A champion of environmen­tal causes and wildlife conservati­on, actor Dia Mirza urged her fans to respect natural diversity. She stressed we must be mindful of consumptio­n patterns and strike a balance between what is good for the environmen­t and what is good for us.

LITTLE ECO-WARRIORS

Sarika Panda Bhatt, a road safety activist, took to Twitter to post an adorable picture of a four-year-old girl from Kandhamal district in Odisha, celebratin­g World Environmen­t day. Clad in a dress made purely of leaves and flowers, she expressed how with small efforts we can reach the goal of zero carbon footprint which would help in restoring our ecosystems. It’s time to do our bit!

MAN AND COW ALIKE

Golgappas occupy a special place in our hearts , but it is strange to see cows enjoying it too. In a video now gone viral on the internet, a man is seen feeding these tasty snacks to a cow and its calf. Needless to say, the cows can be seen enjoying every bit of the spicy street food. Nothing can be cuter than this!

HONOURING THE GOOD-DOER

Remember NS Rajappan, a 72-year-old differentl­yabled man, who fishes out plastic bottles from the Vembanad lake in Kerala? His photograph by Nandu KS made him a viral sensation last year, and now, Rajappan has been awarded The Supreme Master Ching Hai Internatio­nal’s World Protection Award with a $10,000 cash award and a citation. Kudos to such eco-warriors.

HELPING HANDS

From arranging oxygen in hospitals to keeping track of the well-being of senior citizens, Delhi Police personnel are working tirelessly to ensure citizens’ safety. In a thoughtful gesture, Police Havildar, Lekhraj, physically carried Susheela Kaul, an 81-yearold woman, who suffers from many ailments, to the hospital to get her the Covid-19 vaccine. We salute his efforts.

HELPING THOSE IN NEED

Actor Suniel Shetty has joined hands with a pharmaceut­ical company for an initiative to ensure that the right medicines reach the underprivi­leged section of the society. Taking to Twitter in a video, he expressed how in these difficult times, we all are in need of prayers and medication. It’s time to be there for one another and to hold each other’s hand.
