Everyone must have heard about Dashrath Manjhi, who hails from Bihar. Who cut a mountain and made a road. Due to this, today people also know Dashrath Manjhi as Mountain Man. Manjhi was a resident of Gehlaur village located near Gaya of Bihar. Now an elderly Gungi Bhuiyan living in Gaya has also done the same thing.
Similar to Manjhi’s story, now a man has carved out a three-kilometre-long canal to take rainwater coming down from nearby hills to fields of his village, Kothilawa in Lahthua area of Gaya.
“It took me 30 years to dig this canal which takes the water to a pond in the village,” said Laungi Bhuiyan.
“For the last 30 years, I would go to the nearby jungle to tend my cattle and dig out the canal. No one joined me in this endeavour… Villagers are going to cities to earn a livelihood but I decided to stay back,” he added.
Actually, during the rainy season the water falling from the mountains used to flow into the river. This thing used to bother Bhuiyan. He felt that if this water could come in the fields, then it would help the villagers. On social media, people are praising Laung Bhuiyan a lot. At the same time, many people have called him the second Dashrath Manjhi.
