Mr Tata's heartwarming post won hearts on the internet
Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons on Tuesday appealed to people to protect stray animals during the monsoon season. In a Twitter post, Mr Tata wrote that drivers should be mindful and check for stray animals who might have taken shelter under their cars during the rains.
The 85-year-old industrialist also urged people to give temporary shelter to stray animals when it is raining this season.
Mr Tata in his post wrote, "Now that the monsoons are here, a lot of stray cats and dogs take shelter under our cars. It is important to check under our car before we turn it on and accelerate to avoid injuries to stray animals taking shelter. They can be seriously injured, handicapped and even killed if we are unaware of their presence under our vehicles. It would be heartwarming if we could all offer them temporary shelter when it is pouring this season."
