In his latest address to the nation in his very popular program ‘Man Ki Baat’, Prime Minister Modi expressed his happiness on seeing many Indians taking care of the homeless and the needy by giving them warm clothes during this chilly winter season. He was especially pleased by the young generation of India who is actively participating in helping not only the needy humans but also the stray animals. The Prime Minister said that winters are very difficult times both for humans as well as animals. Hence, we should take care of them both.
The dog who was seen in PM Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat has died (pic in the post).’ He was ailing from liver and kidney infection. His name was Rakesh. His name was kept after the name of his caregiver who ran a tea stall. When the first lockdown was declared in India during Covid 19 pandemic his caregiver Rakesh went to his home leaving behind his furry friend. In Rakesh’s absence, the officials of Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) started taking care of the dog and named him Rakesh after the name of his caregiver.. They took good care of him but unfortunately, Rakesh succumbed to his lever and kidney infection on 1st Dec 2020.
According to the head constable Aziz-ur-Rehman Khan after the caregiver of Rakesh left for his home, all the trainee jawans, constables and head constables of PAC developed a fondness for Rakesh and started taking care of him. But in spite of their best efforts, they could not save him. They buried Rakesh with full honour. For the details kindly go on the link below:
