Varanasi: Benaras has got a ‘roti ATM’, a first-of-its-kind initiative to feed speechless stray dogs and cows.
Grootguardian, the organization that Gaurav Rai set up along with his four friends for a noble purpose, now houses 40 youths.
Grootguardian President Gaurav Rai said that he got the inspiration for the work from his friend Siddharth Singh who passed away in a road accident.
Rai said that Singh was an animal lover and wherever he used to see hungry animals, he used to feed them biscuits and jaggery.
“We have started this ATM after his sudden demise. We feed the food collected in the ATM to stray dogs and cows,” Rai said.
