Kolkata Cops are known for their ability to fight crime. They are renowned for their bravery and courage. It is because of them, the city of joy can sleep peacefully at night. Kolkata ranks among the safest cities in India.
The police here are trained significantly well and have a tough exterior. However, a recent photo has showcased the flip side of the coin. A cop from Kolkata was spotted providing shelter to stray dogs. The city of joy has been receiving a lot of rain recently.
Kolkata has experienced heavy rainfall almost throughout the year. The continuous rain left the streets waterlogged. A significant portion of normal life was hampered. People had difficulty in moving from one place to another.
Diseases were also on the rise due to the sudden change of weather. However, the animals on the street seem to have suffered the most. The heavy rainfall made life miserable for them. They did not have any shelter to protect themselves from the rain.
As a result, the dogs had no option but to withstand the downpour silently. However, sometimes, one can get an unexpected friend. Such was the case when a traffic constable decided to be kind to the stray dogs. Here’s the official tweet showcasing the generous act:
