While billions of humans are struggling each day to survive a deadly virus out there, things have got worse for animals, especially the ones that are domesticated or depend on humans for food. There have been many owners who have abandoned their pets and many have lost their master/mistress to the disease. Others who live on the streets are starving and dying.
In such a scenario, a man from Nagpur has been feeding Chicken Biryani to around 190 stray dogs on daily basis since last year.
Ranjeet Nath from Maharashtra’s Nagpur feeds around 190 stray dogs with biryani. He said, “I am busy on Wednesday, Sunday & Friday as I prepare 30-40 kg biryani for these dogs. They are like my kids now. I won’t leave this work till I am alive, it makes me happy.”(19.05) pic.twitter.com/DAlebZN7fW

Named Ranjeet Nath, the man cooks around 40 kilograms of biryani daily for the canines whom he fondly calls “kids”. He makes sure to do this for at least three days of the week.
“I am busy on Wednesday, Sunday, and Friday as I prepare 30–40 kilogram biryani for these dogs. They are like my kids now,” said Ranjeet to ANI.

On these days, he starts with preparations for biryani in the morning, and by noon, he starts cooking it. Everything is ready by 5 pm, and he ties a big utensil full of biryani on the backseat of his bike. Additionally, he carries platters in which he serves the strays and ensures that he gives each of them enough food so that they don’t get into a fight. Then he steps out from the house to some fixed 10-12 locations in the city.
“My bacche (kids) know these locations. The moment they see me, they start running towards me,” he said. He also allows cats or any other animals to eat and does not differentiate.
The special chicken biryani is cooked not only with Ranjeet’s love but with utmost hygiene. There is less meat and more bone pieces in the biryani. This has two pros. The first is that he gets the bony part of the chicken at a cheaper rate, due to which he can feed more and more dogs. Secondly, dogs love to chew bones.
Until the last April, he had to spend from his own pocket. However, after knowing his noble work, many have come forward to donate now.
Ranjeet says that he will continue to do this work till his last breath as it makes him happy.
