DEHRADUN: A 40-year-old man hailing from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, was found wandering alone in the jungles of Bageshwar district, around 320 km away from Dehradun, on Friday by some locals who were out for their morning walk. He was in a shabby condition with long hair, dirty nails and torn clothes, and could only speak in Tamil.
Locals found it difficult to communicate with him initially but eventually managed to get some help. Tamil Nadu's social welfare department will now send an official to take him back. Locals provided the man, identified as Venkatesh, some clothes, food and shelter before contacting Akhil Joshi Azad, a social activist.
