Delhi man rides raft through waterlogged road, sight leaves locals amused
A man was filmed lying on a raft as others pushed him through a waterlogged road in Greater Kailash. The viral clip drew jokes about drainage and mixed reactions online.
A man turned a waterlogged road in Delhi into an impromptu boating route after he was filmed riding through the flooded stretch on a raft.
Instagram user Shree Khandelwal shared the unusual scene in a now-viral video, which showed the man making his way through the waterlogged road as if he were out on a boating trip rather than navigating the street.
In the video, the man was seen lying comfortably on a small raft with a paddle in his hand. Several people around him appeared to help move the raft forward through the flooded road, pushing it along as they waded through knee-deep water.
Their jeans had been rolled up to keep them from getting completely soaked, while the raft continued gliding through the stretch.
The unusual sight turned an already waterlogged road into what looked like an impromptu boating zone. The man appeared relatively unfazed as he lay on the raft, occasionally holding onto the paddle while those around him helped steer it through the flooded stretch.
The video was captioned with a sarcastic take on the situation, describing Greater Kailash as Delhi's "posh" area and joking that despite residents paying hefty taxes, the roads appeared to transform into waterways whenever it rained.
The caption also poked fun at the drainage situation, suggesting that even in a premium locality, proper drainage seemed to come with a "waiting list".

The bizarre sight prompted mixed reactions online. One user pointed out that the waterlogging did not necessarily mean the drainage system had failed, arguing that water naturally took some time to drain after heavy rain. They compared it to pouring a bucket of water into a wash basin, noting that it would not disappear instantly.
Another commenter took a more sarcastic approach, suggesting that the city's waterlogged roads had effectively become free water parks, while someone else simply described the scene as chaotic.
The video, meanwhile, offered an unusual glimpse of how a flooded Delhi road had briefly been transformed into something resembling a makeshift boating route.
