Metro facilitates urban medical emergencies.

Bengaluru’s Namma Metro sets another example of its efficiency by facilitating urban medical emergencies. For the second time, it transported a human organ in just 20 minutes. The first metro-based organ transport by BMRCL took place in August, covering 32 km in an hour. The Hyderabad metro was the first in India to facilitate metro-based organ transport, covering 21 km in just 30 minutes.

In the blazing summers of Churu district, where temperatures touch 50°C, water is not just scarce but survival.

Wildlife photographer turned conservationist, Sharvan Patel saw blackbucks and birds struggling near dry waterholes and decided to act. What began with a single pond has grown into 130 lifeline ponds (khailis) across Rajasthan’s desert belt. These ponds don’t just quench the thirst of blackbucks, peacocks, mongooses, and migratory birds but also reduce human–wildlife conflict on city edges, recharge local ecosystems, and show how climate resilience begins with water.

Sharvan’s ‘Re 1 a Day’ campaign has turned community support into sustainable conservation. His story proves that you don’t need millions to make change, just commitment, creativity, and collective effort.

🙌 Let’s take inspiration from Churu’s Urban Hero. Protect your local ponds, plant native trees, and support small conservation steps in your city. Together, we can build greener, cooler, and kinder urban spaces.
