Amid chilling stories of people and cars getting swept away in flood-hit Telangana, a heart-warning incident of a local corporator's bravery – pulling a man out of flood waters in Hyderabad – has earned high praise on the internet, including Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao.
A video shared on Twitter shows Corporator Swarnaraj Sivamani's carry out the daring rescue operation in the dark using just a rope and mobile phones for flash lights, with help of locals.
In the 1.3-minute video, Mr Garu is seen using a length of rope as a guide and taking it to a man stuck in the middle of a gushing stream of flood water. He then gently holds the man's hand and guides him back to safety. The video ends with chants of “Bharat Mata ki jai (Praises be upon Mother India)”.
Great job Swarnaraj Sivamani Garu
