In Tamil Nadu, the plight of seven stranded dogs on a flooded patch of land near the Mettur Dam has drawn significant attention.


The dogs were left without food for three days after water from the dam's 16-channel sluice gates engulfed the area, stranding the dogs on a riverine islet. The situation was brought to light by viral drone footage showing the rushing waters and the marooned animals.


Tamil Nadu fire and rescue services teamed up with GEOTechnoValley, a drone services company to address the situation. They used drones to deliver biryani to the stranded dogs, providing much-needed food.
