An ‘incredible’ video of water pouring out from the ‘crocodile bark tree’ has left several internet users amazed. Shared by retired IFS Officer Digvijay Singh Khati on June 14, the video shows a forest official hacking the bark of the tree with the help of a sickle after which water can be seen streaming out of it. In the short clip, one can also see several other officials washing their hands and drinking the oozing water.
