Crocodiles Emerging in Residential Areas of Flood-Hit Indian city as Rain Water Recedes (Video)

Crocodiles are increasingly being seen in residential areas of Vadodara as flood waters recede.

In one video, people were amazed to witness a crocodile being hauled-out of the nearby Vishwamitri River, which contains an estimated 500 crocodiles.

A team from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was able to rescue the massive crocodile with just their bare hands, and without wearing safety gears.

The video shows a man dragging the crocodile with a rope which is tied to its neck, while another man can be seen covering the eyes of the crocodile with a cloth. After struggling a bit with the crocodile, the rescued reptile was handed over to the forest department.

In another online video, aerial footage shows numerous crocodiles slithering in the murky water.

A number of videos and pictures have surfaced on social media since the heavy downpour flooded the city. 

In another amusing picture from Vadodara, a man can be seen ferrying a crocodile on a bike.

A sanitation drive has started to stop the outbreak of water-borne diseases, after rain lashed the city last week. National Disaster Response Force teams have rescued 5,000 people, however, at least five people died in rain-related incidents.
