REMEMBERING ZANJEER-------THE HERO

DEAR READERS,

IT IS SAID THAT THE MOST LOYAL ANIMAL IS THE DOG.IF U TREAT HIM WITH UTTER LOVE AND CARE,IT WILL GIVE YOU BACK THE SAME.WE HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES WHERE THE DOG HAS RISKED THE LIFE OF HIS MASTER AND HIS FAMILY.

BUT , THIS IS THE STORY OF ZANJEER----THE DOG WHO SAVED LIVES IN 1993 BOMB BLASTS. A LABRADOR-RETRIEVER WORKING IN THE MUMBAI POLICE DOG SQUAD HAS SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES.

HE HELPED TO DETECT 3299 KGS OF RDX , 600 DETONATORS , 249 HAND GRENADES, 6000 ROUNDS OF LIVE AMMUNITION. HE AVERTED 3 LIVE BOMBS ALSO SAVING THOUSANDS OF LIVES. 



THE MUMBAI POLICE DOG SQUAD CAME INTO ACTION IN 1959 ONLY. BUT, IT HAD ONLY THREE DOBERMAN PINCHERS WHO HELPED IN TRACKING AND SOLVING CASES. BUT THEN CAME ZANJEER WHICH MADE THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT PROUD.
IN THE CAREER , IT HAD DETECTED 175 PETROL BOMBS,600 DETONATORS, 11 MILITARY BOMBS AND MORE THAN 5OO GRENADES.



  IN NOVEMBER 2000,  ZANJEER DIED OF BONE CANCER AT THE AGE OF EIGHT YEARS.
DUE TO THE IMPECCABLE SERVICE TO THE MUMBAI POLICE , HE WAS BURIED WITH FULL STATE HONOURS. ZANJEER'S FELLOW OFFICERS LAID HIM WITH FLORAL WREATHS ON THE COURAGEOUS BEFORE GETTING HIM BURIED. 

IT IS NOT ONLY HUMANS BUT THE ANIMALS ARE ALSO PATRIOTIC.
