As extremely heavy rains battered parts of Gujarat, especially Rajkot and Jamnagar in the past one day, more than 200 people who were stranded in the flood waters were rescued and over 7,000 shifted to safer places in the two districts. A national highway in Jamnagar and 18 state highways passing through Rajkot, Jamnagar and Junagadh districts of the Saurashtra region were closed due to flooding. And as social media was flooded with images and videos of water-logged roads, a particular video showed a vehicle cruising through the flood water, steadily but diligently. The vehicle in question seemed to be a police vehicle.
The video showed a Mahindra Bolero SUV swiftly moving amid the water-logged streets of Rajkot, Gujarat. The white SUV looked totally calm amid the water even as no other vehicles were seen on the road. A Twitter user shared the video and the SUV’s ability to do so has managed to impress its maker itself- Anand Mahindra. Reacting to the video of the SUV, Mahindra replied, " Seriously? During the recent rains? Even I am pretty amazed".

We too use the Mahindra Bolero in all terrains of the tiger reserve. Sadly, it needs repair and getting old but do not want to let go. Bolero is a toughie. Big fan of it— Farida Tampal (@ftampal) September 14, 2021
