- Shepherds request
- On Dec 1, 2021 North and West India experienced unusual weather and unprecedented rainfall. The rains which started early that morning continued well into the night and flattened crops , destroying the hard work of several farmers . Also affected were migratory shepherds . Especially, shepherds who had penned their animals for the night on fields of harvested cotton . The black sticky soil made it extremely difficult to rescue animals who were stuck in the soil which rapidly turned to clay. Several animals died that night . The shepherds could not call for help as their mobiles were soaked in the unrelenting rain.
  
  A team from Anthra , went on a fact finding mission and spoke to several shepherds . A small documentary has been made to throw light on the situation as well as offer solutions to prevent such incidents in the future .
