A group of workers in India devised an excellent hack to erect a heavy concrete electric pole weighing almost 150kg.

The men held the pole, which measured at least 8 metres, with the support of a rope tied to both ends, while another man propped a bamboo pole in the centre of the concrete pole.

The bamboo pole allowed for the men doing the lifting to briefly pause at points, then heave together to move the concrete pole into place.

The workers also chanted a local slogan to keep themselves motivated.

The filmer Manas Kumar Behera said: “I was taken aback by their spirit and immediately decided to capture the incident to give me an inspiration whenever I will feel low.”

“This is not an easy task as it involves risking of lives more than their spirit and I salute them for doing this incredible job.”

A group of workers devised an excellent hack to erect a heavy concrete electric pole weighing almost 150 Kilograms and measuring at least 8 metres in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha in India.
The video shows the group of workers holding the pole with a support of a rope tied to both ends while the hack lied in the bamboo poles being placed at the tangent by two workers at different lengths.
The two bamboo poles gives a proper resting for the erected pole at certain interval.
As soon as the pole is lifted to a certain height by the group, the bamboo pole is shifted to the nearest fulcrum so that the height is maintained and the pole also rests at the same height.
The workers also chant a local slogan to keep themselves motivated and going.
Within a minute the heavy concrete pole is easily erected by the workers and they later celebrate the victory.
Their indomitable spirit was captured by the filmer as soon as he saw the workers taking up the tedious challenge.
The filmer Manas kumar Behera told Newsflare “I was taken aback by their spirit and immediately decided to capture the incident to give me an inspiration whenever I will feel low.”
“These people are working hard to light up the houses of the people, but if a single thing goes wrong, the light of their own houses will be extinguished forever.”
“This is not an easy task as it involves risking of lives more than their spirit and I salute them for doing this incredible job.”
