Patna: As many as thirty people have been killed owning to incessant rains in Bihar. Residents are going through various problems as floodwaters have brought Bihar to a standstill.
Meanwhile, one particular heart wrenching video from Patna, which has gone viral, shows a rickshaw puller stranded in chest-deep water. The man is stuck and is unable to leave his rickshaw behind. He can be seen crying and asking for help in the video.
The video seems to have been taken from an apartment balcony or window high up; those recording the video ask him to leave the rickshaw parked near their home and promise to keep an eye on it; however, the man understandably refuses to abandon his rickshaw.
The video has since been shared by numerous people on Twitter, with several asking the government and the NDRF to reach out to him.

This is one of the most heartbreaking videos.
A man cries as he is unable to pull his rickshaw any further in the #PatnaFloods. He doesn't want to leave it & go as it's probably his only source of income. Such is the poverty and helplessness 😢
Yes, everything is fine in India. pic.twitter.com/KH9KslMi8S
