Abandoned dog rescued at Gorumara
Jalpaiguri: Recently, a dog that was found abandoned near Mahakal inside Gorumara National Park was rescued by the members of a local NGO. The dog, a Rottweiler, was first noticed by travellers, and later, SPOAR — the NGO — was alerted. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "This act of abandonment posed a serious threat to the park's wildlife. Gorumara hosts a significant leopard population, and dogs are known prey. More alarmingly, if the dog had been carrying any infectious disease, like distemper, parvovirus, or rabies, it could have triggered a dangerous outbreak among wild animals," said Shyama Prasad Pandey, CEO, SPOAR. SPOAR reached out to Nima Sherpa, additional divisional forest officer of the Gorumara Division. Eventually, the NGO rescued the dog with help of forest staff. SPOAR has taken full responsibility for the dog's future care and has also filed a general diary to document the incident, Pandey added.

From Grey Hair To Wedding Flair: Thrissur Couple Finds Love At 75+
Written By : Last Updated: Love isn't on a deadline! At 79 and 75, Vijayaraghavan and Sulochana tied the knot in a Kerala old age home, proving that romance can bloom even after retirement. In a quiet corner of Thrissur, a story bloomed that gently defies society's timeline on love. At the Government old age home, where many assume life begins to slow down, two hearts decided to begin again, this time, together. Vijayaraghavan, 79, a resident since 2019 and a native of Peramangalam, found companionship in 75-year-old Sulochana from Irinjalakuda, who joined the facility just last year. Over cups of tea, conversations, and shared routines, their bond deepened. Eventually, the duo expressed a simple but profound wish: they wanted to get married. Their request, conveyed to the warden, was met not with raised eyebrows, but with warmth and support. Under the leadership of the Social Justice Department, and through the provisions of the Special Marriage Act, the couple tied the knot in a ceremony filled with flowers, laughter, and silent tears. This wasn't a hushed affair. Kerala's Higher Education and Social Justice Minister Dr R Bindu, Thrissur Mayor M K Varghese, and several dignitaries stood witness as the couple exchanged garlands. The event was graced by members of the Corporation Welfare Standing Committee, District Social Justice Officer K R Pradeepan, and Superintendent Radhika, alongside a hall full of clapping fellow residents. In a world obsessed with youth, this Thrissur wedding quietly told us: life doesn't stop after 60. Sometimes, it begins again, bright, bold, and beautifully late.

People love their pets. So much so, that they will go to court over them
Large and intensely black; thick, velvety fur; has a faint fringe of white hair across his chest; not easy to find in ordinary light.' When his daughter Clara's beloved black cat Bambino disappeared while she was convalescing in a sanatorium, Mark Twain put out the ad in the New York American and spent days receiving strangers with abandoned black cats in the hope of finding Bambino among them. The cat returned on his own, but it was no secret in New York that the American writer loved his daughter, and Bambino, with equal fervour. That they occupy a special place in the lives of their humans is no secret. But separated by centuries and continents, the spurt in litigation and mediations in India's capital over pets and strays only goes to show that the law is just beginning to catch up with what the heart has always known: That animals matter — not as assets, but as companions. And, in some circumstances, they are the bone of contention or caught between adversaries. Take, for instance, a civil suit filed in 2023 by an advocate against his neighbours in south Delhi. The reason: Their pet had chased him, leading him to fall and fracture his wrists. When TMC MP Mahua Moitra broke up with lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai, the bitterness spilled over into a custody tussle over their beloved Rottweiler, Henry. It may seem trivial to some, absurd even, but these disputes, at their core, are declarations of how much trust is conveyed through a wag of a tail or the flick of a feline ear. In lonely, crowded urban metropolises, pets provide the kind of unstinting comfort that few can. Neighbours fight, lovers part, but what lingers is the bond with the creature left in between. Reforms to Australian law last month recognised this: For the first time, in cases of separation, Australian courts will factor in emotional attachment when determining pet ownership. As Delhi courts navigate this tricky terrain, it is a reminder that love, no matter how small or furry, always leaves a trail.
