KARACHI:
In an act of kindness, staff members of the Karachi Electric (K-Electric) on Wednesday rescued a bird -- a kite -- which was stuck on a high tension wire.
Pakistan Animal Welfare Society (Paws), in a cry for help, tweeted about the trapped kite, calling for it to be rescued.
Shortly afterwards, the K-Electric Twitter account posted a picture stating that the bird had in fact been rescued.
The K-Electric team first assembled close to the site where the bird was stuck.
Several people following the live rescue thread that PAWS was tweeting expressed joy and relief to the heartwarming act.
The initial call for rescue was made by a Twitter user who had spotted the bird trapped in the wires. She tagged Paws and K-Electric with a picture of the kite, asking for immediate rescue.
A KE spokesperson told The Express Tribune that the company made sure it responded to all such emergency calls made through social media platforms and its helpline, 118. KE’s integrated business centres remain alert 24 hours a day, he pointed out, adding that their employees are trained to respond in such situations.
On Wednesday morning, the rescued bird was taken to visit a veterinarian, Dr Isma, who said it will be okay.
