Man Carves Tunnel for 14 Years to Park Near House

A man in India has proved that nothing’s impossible, not when you have the willpower and the right equipment. Frustrated with a hilly range that blocked easy access to his home, Ramchandra Das, a villager from Kewati, eastern Bihar, slugged away at the rocky mountain for 14 years creating a small tunnel.

The tunnel, measuring 10 m in length and 4 m width, finally enabled Das to park his truck by his home.

Prior to this, there was no convenient way for him to drive his vehicle to his house.

Losing the truck to thieves was a constant fear for him and such limitations heightened this worry.

“I could not park my truck near my house since the mountain blocked my path. I had to leave my truck miles away, so I decided to do something about it myself,”

Das was not the only one who complained about the mountain. Given the rocky terrain and poor road infrastructure, other villagers also had trouble traveling back home from surrounding fields.

Before the handy tunnel was carved out, visiting the nearby amenities and locations ended up being a 7 km journey for these villagers.

All of them had brought up this issue with the relevant authorities.

However, when the powers that be refused help in this matter, Das decided to rise to the occasion.

The resulting tunnel has now been welcomed by locals and authorities. To this effect, it is the favored mode of transportation for villagers.

Authorities have also been quite vocal in their support for Das.

“We rarely come across a man who can work so hard to achieve his goal,” was the comment by a local government official called Prabhat Kumar Jha.

É assim mesmo crl! :clap:
