Many such stories go viral on the internet, which is different and touching the heart. Recently, a case has come up that is from Tamil Nadu. The story of 65-year-old D. Sivan of Tamil Nadu has become popular on the Internet. He was a postman by profession, who retired only last week. People are requesting the government to give Padma Shri to D. Sivan on social media. However, to send his letter to the people with a monthly income of Rs 12,000, he used to travel about 15 kilometers of hills and forest every day.

IAS Supriya Sahu tweeted a picture of D. Sivan on the tweeter and wrote, 'Postman D. Sivan walks 15 km daily through the dense forests of Coonoor and encountering dangerous animals such as elephants, bears and used to deliver letter to people.
