A JCB machine was used to help people.
Flood-affected villagers in Gujarat's Kachchh area are facing several challenges after heavy downpours led to flooding in many parts of the state. The basic infrastructure has been disturbed due to heavy rains and floods in the area. But a video of a makeshift solution to one of the villagers' problems is going viral on the internet.
The video shows a few people from the Chhachhi village in Kachchh using a JCB machine to cross the road. The village and adjacent areas are facing the flood of the Kankawati River, and the road has been washed away in the powerful flow of water. This unique idea to face a difficult situation is becoming very popular on the internet.
Meanwhile, as the monsoon reached the Northern and Western parts of the country, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert for heavy rainfall in most parts of the country.
