Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group, has reacted to a video being virally circulated over the social media on Wednesday. The video circulating on the internet was earlier posted by Nagaland's MLA Mmhonlumo Kikon, wherein it shows Nagaland Women Battalion pushing out a Mahindra Bolero out of a ditch, without any help from their male counterparts.

Women Show The Way!

The undated video shows Mahindra Bolero, an SUV, being stuck in a drain; unable to move and function. This is when the Naga Women Battalion step up to pave the way, by pushing and lifting the SUV backwards, while a few others drag it from behind. Within seconds, the women manage to push the car out, making it all look easy. After accomplishing the feat, the women soldiers are seen celebrating this victory.
