A MAN has used a hammer and chisel over 14 years to carve a tunnel through a mountain so he could park his truck at his house.
"I could not park my truck near my house since the mountain blocked my path," Ramchandra Das, 53, who lives in eastern Bihar state's Gaya district, said.

Mr Das said fear of thieves stealing his truck prompted him to work on the tunnel all by himself after authorities refused help.

"I had to leave my truck miles away, so I decided to do something about it myself," Mr Das said by telephone.

Local villagers, who had to trek for miles to get around the mountain are using the 14ft wide tunnel to reach their farms, and praising Mr Das for his work.

"We rarely come across a man who can work so hard to achieve his goal," Prabhat Kumar Jha, a local government official said.
