In Sivakasi, Virudhunagar district, a peacock that was battling for its life after being hit by a car on the road, was saved by two sanitation employees.
When Vadivelu and Muniyasamy, sanitation workers from the Sivakasi municipality, were on duty collecting garbage in the streets, they observed a peacock fighting for its life.
The injured peacock was apparently saved alive and transferred to a local veterinary facility for treatment following first aid with the help of ‘Thol kodu Thozha’ volunteers Ramachandran, Naren, Mohammad Siddique, and Karthik. The peacock was then fed and watered before being handed over to the fire department. The injured peacock was eventually turned over to the forest department by firemen.
