SIRICILLA: A car owner in the Indian state of Telangana’s flood-hit Sircilla town tied it with ropes to prevent it from getting washed away. The video has gone viral on social media.
According to reports, the car owner tied all four ends of the car with ropes and attached the other end to concrete pillars on top of his house. He came up with this idea after watching several vehicles being washed away in the floods triggered by heavy rains in the region since last night.
