In a remarkable display of humanity, farmers in Gotwan (Gotma) village, Mirzapur, saved a rare, giant eagle—locally known as a "Garuda"—after it collapsed mid-flight due to the extreme cold wave.
The Incident: On Friday morning, the nearly six-foot-long bird fell into agricultural fields in the Kachhwa area. Villagers found the majestic bird shivering and surrounded by stray dogs.
The Rescue: Local farmers Govind and Sherupal acted quickly, rescuing the bird from the dogs and taking it to their home. To battle the freezing temperatures, they wrapped the eagle in a blanket and provided warmth using a bonfire. Thanks to their timely compassion, the bird’s condition stabilized.
Official Action: The Forest Department was alerted via the 112 helpline and has since taken charge of the bird's recovery and care.
Watch to see how the community came together to save this rare messenger of nature.
