A forest official is being praised on social media after a video emerged of him risking his life to rescue a deer from a river in Uttar Pradesh. Forest Officer Ramesh Pandey shared the video that showed a man being lowered by a rope to help a swamp deer that was trapped. The man was identified as Mohan Yadav, a forest officer with the Haiderpur Wetland in Muzaffarnagar. Yadav was seen struggling to move closer to the big animal that usually migrates from the wetlands to Haridwar. Pulling the animal by its tail, he managed to extricate it. This is how invisible green heroes work silently in field. A swamp deer stuck up in Ganga barrage got rescued and released safely by Shri Mohan Yadav, Forester of Haiderpur wetland taking huge risk. @skumarias02 @WWFINDIA VC: Ashish Loya/Gaurav#GreenGuards #RealHeroes pic.twitter.com/n8pU3os8UT — Ramesh Pandey IFS (@rameshpandeyifs) June 30, 2020 The animal was later released in the wild.
