Watch: Drunk man rides a camel on busy Hyderabad flyover, rescued by commuters
A man caused panic on a busy flyover in Hyderabad by riding a camel in an inebriated state. The incident occurred along the PV Narasimha Rao Expressway in Hyderabad and was shared on Instagram by Ikram Ullah Shah, who rescued both the man and the animal.
The now-viral video shows the camel racing along the flyover with the rider moving back and forth dangerously. As the animal reached close to the edge of the road, the man appeared to have no control over the camel.
However, Shah followed the animal in his car, repeatedly shouting at the man to stop and warning nearby drivers to clear the way for the camel. As the video continues, Shah throws water at the rider, who then slumps forward and appears to lose consciousness, while the camel continues to run frantically. Shah and another onlooker managed to slow the camel down and tied it to a nearby streetlight. But the man stayed on the camel in an unconscious state.
Sharing the video, Shah wrote, 'A camel had climbed onto the PV Narasimha Rao flyover. While the public just stood by and watched, by Allah's grace I stepped in and managed to stop it. It's sad that people only watched like it was a show — but I'm grateful that Allah chose me to act when it mattered.'

"There were supposed to be 18 crocodiles present in the lake as per a study done a few years ago, but a fresh crocodile count should be done now," NatConnect director B N Kumar said. Environmentalist D Stalin noted, "Besides water pollution at Powai lake, it is observed that the basking and nesting sites of crocodiles here are severely disturbed due to human activities. A new 5-star hotel building has been constructed near the lake, while IIT has also installed metal grills to stop crocscoming into their campus. I have earlier mentioned this to BMC."

Training prog for civil defence volunteers kicks off in UT
1 2 3 Chandigarh: Punjab Governor and Union Territory Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria formally inaugurated the Civil Defence Volunteer Training Programme at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration (MGSIPA) on Saturday. The inauguration also marked the beginning of the programme's first batch of volunteers. Deputy commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav welcomed the volunteers with a heartfelt address, assuring full support from the Chandigarh administration. He reflected on the overwhelming public response to the initiative launched post Operation Sindoor, where a modest registration camp at Tagore Theatre on May 10 drew an unexpected crowd of over 5,000 citizens, far surpassing the anticipated 800. This surge of civic enthusiasm led to the selection of 1,600 volunteers from a pool of 7,300 registrants for the first phase of training. These volunteers will be trained in four batches of 400, undergoing a six-day intensive programme that includes sessions at MGSIPA, the fire department, Western Command Army, and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). Looking ahead, a valedictory ceremony in mid-July will celebrate the volunteers' commitment, where they will receive certificates, uniforms, and ID cards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [Click Here] - 2025 Top Trending Search - Local network access Esseps Learn More Undo The city's civil defence structure will be organized into a pyramid command system, ensuring efficient localised disaster management.

Internet was a city waiting to be explored. Now it's a prison cell
What we've lost is the serendipity of the Internet. The intellectual equivalent of getting lost in a foreign city and stumbling upon a strange little shop that sells something you never knew you needed
