Mumbai: Woman Stood On A Waterlogged Road To Warn Commuters Of Manhole

Heavy downpour has clogged many places in Mumbai. Visuals of houses and roads being flooded are doing the rounds online and they capture the destruction and devastation that the ongoing torrential rains have caused.

However, there are people who have put the lives of others above their own and are doing what they can to make sure people don¡¯t suffer, at least more than they already are.

This video of a woman 'manning' a man-hole in the middle of a busy road is going viral.

The video is reportedly from Matunga West in Mumbai where a lady stood for five hours in the middle of a waterlogged road to warn commuters of the manhole that was hidden because of the water. One can see that she gestures the traffic to go around her. She keeps standing even as vehicles passing by on the other side of the road cause water to splash on her.

She stood there for hours just so traffic could function smoothly but, more importantly, so no one got injured or caught in the manhole.

People have nothing but respect and praise for the lady.

Twitter

One user tweeted, ¡®Huge respect to this lady who is standing beside manhole for hrs in Matunga West.. Mumbai.. To bring it to people's knowledge.. Do u know how many lives she has saved?¡¯, while another tweeted the video with the comment, ¡®Can we have more humans like this lady? Hats Off¡¯.

It is people like her who make sure that every life counts.
