Harsh Goenka praises Kerala nurses who saved stranger with CPR
A man named Sinoj was driving his car in Kerala, India, when he suddenly had a very bad heart problem called a heart attack.
He was stuck in traffic, so he could not get to the hospital quickly.
Two kind women named Anjali and Ardra were on a bus nearby.
Anjali is a nurse, and Ardra is a nursing student.
They saw Sinoj collapse inside his car and got off the bus to help him.
They gave him CPR, which is a special way to help a person's heart keep working.
They kept helping until an ambulance arrived.
A famous businessman named Harsh Goenka heard about what they did and praised them on social media.
He said India needs more people like them, and many people online agreed.
