A unique friendship between a man from Uttar Pradesh and a sarus crane made headlines a few weeks ago. The man from Amethi, Mohammed Arif, had rescued the endangered bird and nursed it back to health. The crane soon started following Arif across the town where he lives and their videos went viral. When the forest department came to know about it, they separated the bird from Arif and even sent him a notice. But the buzz around their friendship did not die, and users kept pleading the government to do something to reunite Arif and the crane.
