The Ganga and India's 'can-do' spirit
Location: Uttarakhand

A river that lives in legend.

A river that lives in people's hearts.

A river -- estimated to be 2,600 kilometres long -- that nurtures life on its banks.

A river that is slowly being poisoned and destroyed by pollution.

A river, the magnificent Ganga, that is now getting a new lease of life.

Here's how.

 


Blanzy's heartwarming farewell
Location: Trichy

For 10 years, Blanzy was part of civilian security at Trichy airport.

The sniffer dog went about his task with great dedication.

When it was time for him to retire, he was honoured with a medal and a certificate.

 


Indian Army's amazing feat
Location: Narmadapuram

The Sukhtawa river in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh, needed a bridge.

The engineers of the Indian Army's Sudarshan Chakra Corps stepped up to the task.

And, in just six days, a Bailey bridge (a pre-fabricated, portable, bridge) spanned the river.
