BMW to bullock carts: Industrialists drive a point home

Indore

The roads there have been in bad shape for many years. They turn muddy even in slight rain and it becomes extremely difficult to drive through or walk easily on them.

In protest against the poor condition of the roads, factory owners and other officials working in the industrial area left their expensive cars and reached their factory riding on bullock carts, which usually transport goods.

Pictures and videos of such industrialists have now gone viral on the social media. Industrialists, with laptop bags hanging from their shoulders and iPhones in hand, are seen riding the bullock cart through the muddy roads.

Of those who chose this form of transport were Pramod Jain, President of Palda Industrial Organisation, Secretary Harish Nagar and Ramesh Patel among others. It was their way to protest against the poor condition of roads and to draw the attention of the authorities.
