The country has been experiencing an intense heatwave recently. The summer has been particularly harsh for those residing in the national capital region, with record-breaking temperatures. The sun’s relentless heat has affected not just humans but also animals and birds. In Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, the scorching temperatures have been distressing for all. Recently, a monkey fell from a tree due to the extreme heat. Fortunately, compassionate residents found the animal and quickly came to its aid.
In a now-viral video, several people can be seen trying to cool down the monkey with cold water. They also gave it some ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) to help it regain strength and stay hydrated.
The residents worked together to give the monkey a refreshing bath and massaged it with cooling oil for relief. They ensured the monkey drank plenty of ORS to remain hydrated. Their prompt and active care saved the monkey’s life.
Many viewers have taken to the comment section to share their thoughts and commend the residents for their efforts.
“The condition of animals is very bad in summer, and very few people pay attention to it… it was good to see it.” Another user added, “Not just humans, even animals are suffering from the heat.” “It is extremely hot, take care of yourself and your loved one,” wrote another one.
“Planting lots of trees in your local areas seems like the only way to get some relief from the soaring temperature in the near future,” suggested a user, while another said, “We are humans and we can easily use fans, coolers and air conditioners. Meanwhile, these poor animals do not understand what to do. We should be alert and ready to help them these days.”
This incident of animals suffering from the heatwave is not isolated. A few days earlier, another monkey fell from a tree and fainted in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. It was later saved by Head Constable Vikas Tomar, who was on the scene.
