As the monsoon batters India, floods and major waterlogging have occurred in several parts of the country. On Tuesday, heavy rains lashed portions of Telangana, disrupting daily activities.
Amid waterlogging and traffic snarls, a video from flood-hit Siricilla town went viral on social media platforms. The clip showed a car tied to ropes to prevent it from getting washed away in the flood.
The video was posted on YouTube by Telugu Cinema.
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 the unusual idea after watching several vehicles being washed away in the floods triggered by heavy rains in the region.

As tragic as the incident could have been, people are never far away from looking for humour. This video from flood-hit Telangana's Siricilla town has gone viral on social media.
The Rajanna Sircilla district of the state has been one of the worst hit by the floods. The incessant rains threw life out of gear in the district and created havoc after the floodwater inundated several roads.
