What do you do when government informs you that your newly built house is going to obstruct a national highway development? Probably demolish it and find another property ... right? Well, not this guy.
A farmer in India's northern Punjab state shifted his entire house about 120m away from its former location to get around the highway project problem.
Engineers constructed a plan which included the use of steel beams and hydraulic jacks to move the double storey building, as it was in the way of a planned highway being built to connect the country's capital, Delhi, to Kashmir.
