Manipur Girls Form Human Chain to Pull out Bus Stuck in Mud

The girls were on a study tour to Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India.

A group of girls from Manipur found themselves in a "muddy" situation when the bus carrying them broke down and was stuck in mud on a steep terrain. The students did not wait for help and formed a human chain to pull the bus out of the mud.

The photo of the girls pulling the bus using a rope has gone viral on social media. Lawai BemBem tweeted saying that the girls had gone for a study tour to Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India.
