Bengaluru floods: Anand Mahindra shares amazing video where people use crane to travel through water-logged roads in IT hub

As Karnataka is massively devastated by floods, the capital city Bengaluru’s several areas are underwater, exposing its civic infrastructure. In such a water-logging situation, several videos are surfacing on the internet, highlighting the plight of India’s tech city.

Now, when photos and videos are bringing the rain-devastated visuals of Bengaluru, the industrialist Anand Mahindra shared a video on Twitter, showing people passing through a flooded stretch on a crane.
Anand Mahindra is often praised for his insightful tweets. While sharing the video of the flood-devastated Bengaluru, he wrote a positive message saying ‘Where there is a will, there is a way.’


The video shows eight people boarding a crane crossing a flooded area and two of them manage to adjust near the driver, others stand on the crane’s blade.

The video shared by Mahindra displayed that passengers onboarding the crane are dressed well. It can be assumed that some of them may be heading to work as they are carrying bags. The video also shows that one of the passengers is filming the water-logged stretch while the crane slowly proceeds through the water.

Several photos and videos surfacing on social media show that the people of Bengaluru use cranes, tractors and bulldozers for transport through waterlogged roads of the city. TV channels are constantly covering such news over the past two days since the mega IT hub has been under the water after a spell of heavy rain and floods.

The video of the crane passing through the flooded road caught the attention of everyone as one Twitter user commented that the video shows Bengaluru is called the innovation hub for a reason.

The video also came to Anand Mahindra’s notice, who retweeted it.



In the comment section, while many applauded the jugaad in such a flood-affected situation, others criticised the civic authorities and the state government for not having planned urbanisation well and the city’s faulty drainage system.
