What about the friendship between Arif and Saras?
The friendship of Saras and Arif was discussed worldwide. In fact, many videos of friendship between Arif and Saras, residents of Amethi, UP, went viral on social media. However, later both of them got separated and the stork was kept in the zoo of Kanpur. There was a lot of discussion about this matter in the politics of UP and SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav also surrounded the Yogi government regarding this matter. Please inform that the Forest Department had taken away the stork from Arif.
In August 2022, Arif Khan found this stork in the fields. The stork was completely injured. Arif got the stork treated, after which this stork started living in the house. The family members thought that he would fly away after recovering but the stork did not take the name of leaving Arif. A firm friendship developed between the two. The situation became such that wherever Arif went, the stork followed him. But when the forest department team came to know about the stork, they took it away.
After Arif, Afroz was also booked for keeping a stork
After Arif, Afroz of Sultanpur was booked for keeping a stork. Since September last year, a stork lived with 27-year-old Mohammad Afroz. This stork flew to the fish pond of Afroz’s village and started living with him. Afroz was booked for violating provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act. A social media post showed the relationship between Afroz and Saras. After this post went viral, a case was registered against Afroz by the Forest Department and Saras was taken away. Means now this is the third case of friendship between Mau’s Ramsamuj Yadav and Saras. It has to be seen what action the forest department team takes in this matter.
