Video Of Drunk Man Riding Camel On Hyderabad Highway Goes Viral
A video of a visibly inebriated man riding a camel on the PV Narasimha Rao Expressway in Hyderabad is going viral on social media. Shared on Instagram by user Ikram Ullah Shah, the clip shows the camel being steered dangerously close to the edge of the flyover. At one point, the animal appears to lose control, creating a hazardous situation for both the rider and nearby vehicles. Throughout the video, Mr Shah tries to stop the man by splashing water on him in an attempt to sober him up. It's only at the end of the clip that Mr Shah and his friend manage to slow the camel down, tie it to a lamppost, and help the intoxicated rider dismount.
In the caption of the post, Mr Shah said he chased the camel on the highway and stopped the animal before anyone got hurt. "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," he wrote.

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.
