Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group recently took to Twitter to share his concerns about a rather dangerous "Jugaad". Writing that it was 'cheapest possible tipper truck’ he shared a video clip wherein men could be seen lifting a truck to unload it. The stunt has now left the internet stunned.
The recently shared clip starts by showing a truck filled with logs ready to unload. However, what leaves everybody surprised is that instead of the rear part of truck lifting mechanically, a few men gather to do it manually. As the video progresses, three men hold the truck from its front and lift it so as to create a slant for the logs to slide down.
Got this random video today. Crazy. They’ve made this the cheapest possible tipper truck. Violates all safety& loading regulations. Hugely unsafe for those holding the truck up. Yet I marvel at how our people persevere & manage without resources. pic.twitter.com/wYbzp7KjUT

The guy who randomly wave in the end, is that guy in your project group who only comes to show his face on the day of submission and still gets all the marks
