I knw..Bad..! My dad's there now..The communication was down for more than 6 hours including GSM.

Luckily He is still driving a Jeep...The Camry delivery will be done during Navratris..!

He said it felt just like Home with all the traffic and Signals haywire..But the magnitude was realised only much later..!

Does everybody there drive a LC or a Pajero?
The first pic looks like Mahindra great escape gone horribly wrong.

No Mostly the country runs on Toyota Saloons..! But SUV form a large share also namely - Rav4,Prado,Land Crusier, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee and Nissan Patrol..!
