A biker in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad stopped on a busy flyover to rescue a cow stranded amidst speeding traffic. The man carefully guided the animal to safety, putting himself at risk in the process. The incident was captured on video and later shared on Instagram. The clip quickly drew praise from viewers online, who commended the biker's quick thinking and selfless act.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Ghaziabad's flyovers, built to ease congestion, often see stray animals wandering onto them due to gaps in boundary walls or open access points. Such rescues remain rare because stopping on a flyover is illegal and dangerous. The local municipal corporation has faced repeated criticism for not fencing these structures properly. A similar incident on the Delhi-Ghaziabad elevated road in 2022 led to a traffic pile-up but no action on animal entry points. The number of stray cattle on NCR roads has risen over the years, with no central count available for Ghaziabad. The next step is usually a civic body inspection of the flyover's fencing.
