Sangareddy: The Ameenpur-based Animal Warriors Conservation Society (AWCS), an NGO working on animal welfare, has rescued and fed over 150 animals that were stranded for days following the floods in Vijayawada city. The rescued animals included 25 snakes.
A-12 member team led by AWCS founder Pradeep Nair spent seven days in Vijayawada, rescuing and feeding the animals stuck due to incessant rains and floods.
Speaking to Telangana Today, Pradeep Nair said stray and pet dogs were stranded atop houses for days in Ajith Singh Nagar, YSR Colony, Bombay Colony, Rajiv Swagruha Houses, and many other colonies that were impacted mostly by the Budameru floods.
