The rescue, documented by Ala and shared on his Instagram, has garnered widespread attention and praise.

On August 16, Sahu shared Ala’s video on X, commenting on the dire consequences of plastic pollution. She wrote, “Death by plastic. Thank you @mecherguiala for saving this precious turtle. #stopplasticpollution.” The video captures Ala’s meticulous efforts to free the distressed turtle, which had become entangled in the net while swimming in the sea.

Social media users were quick to applaud Ala’s act of kindness and bravery. The incident has sparked conversations about the harmful impact of plastic pollution on marine life, with many urging stronger efforts to combat the growing environmental crisis.
