Dwarka: Industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s son Anant rescued a flock of poultry chickens on Tuesday during his ‘padyatra’ or foot march from Jamnagar to Dwarka in Gujarat.
In a video which went viral on social media platforms, Anant Ambani, who is winning accolades from netizens for his act of compassion, can be seen asking his staff to “save” all chickens which were being transported in a vehicle having caged-compartments.
He reportedly stopped the van in the wee hours near Khambhalia town of Devbhumi Dwarka district after learning it was transporting chickens for slaughter.
250 chickens. Crammed in a truck. On their way to slaughter. 💔
But then, Anant Ambani steps in. He stops the truck, talks to the owner, pays the price, and saves them all. These 250 souls are now safe and will be cared for at VANTARA. ❤️
