Indian roads are full of unique sights and an Ashok Leyland Dost carrying an elephant is the latest example of it. Encounters like these can leave you utterly bewildered due to the sheer absurdity involved. We are aware that in India, the concept of ‘jugaad’ prevails, which is the art of accomplishing a task through any possible means. This approach often includes a mindset and thinking that can be quite unconventional. However, it also entails bending rules and physical laws, which could potentially result in significant costs and even fatal consequences. Here are the specifics of one such instance where an elephant is being transported on the bed of a mini-truck.

Carrying an animal in this compact truck poses a significant danger, not only to the driver and the vehicle but also to fellow road users. This peril arises from the improper restraint of the animal. Given that the animal is standing, any abrupt turns can disrupt its balance, potentially leading to a fall. In the event of such a mishap, the animal is sure to sustain injury. Moreover, there is a risk it could land on the road in the path of other cars. The reflex reactions of these drivers may result in further accidents, possibly leading to collisions with other vehicles on the road.
