In India, a manager has found nothing better than to empty a dam to recover his precious little smartphone.
Today, there are more smartphones than human beings on earth, a fact that shows how extremely important this device has become for homo sapiens. It is so for some that it justifies some extremities like today in India.
2 million liters of water… so what?
What to do when your smartphone falls in water? In general, if it’s not too deep, you can quickly jump in and hope that the device, if it has a good IP rating, was able to hold up. Well, that’s only if it’s a small stream. What if your phone ever falls into a dam? Of course, you will complain and drop the case.
Well some think differently, as we relate BFM TV. Indeed, an Indian government official named Rajesh Vishwas, who was visiting the Kherkatta dam, dropped his phone in water after a failed selfie. He first mobilized divers, without much success. Not enough to discourage our man, who then simply ordered the dam to be emptied of 2 million liters of water in order to be able to recover his precious companion.
All that for this
If you are shocked by this kind of decision, which some might call a whim, don’t worry, the official has an explanation. He indeed claims to have financed himself the arrival of the diesel pump necessary for operation, while having received the verbal agreement of the authorities.
Moreover, by letting these few drops out of the tank, it would have brought water which ” would benefit farmers ” from the neighborhood. A great gift, since according to the BBC, the 2 million liters spilled could simply be used to irrigate 600 hectares of cultivated land.
Unfortunately, this great plan did not have its happy ending, the manager’s smartphone, although finally found, no longer worked. Worse, Rajesh Vishwas was suspended by his hierarchy for abusing his position. Hard ?
