Drivers from the ‘Mongolian Pajero club’ have pulled 300 cars out of the snow since January 2016 in cooperation with the Mongolian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

This year, they have saved lives by pulling out over 40 cars which had become trapped in deep snow. Recently, in order to do save human life, they broke a ministerial order which had closed a road. Twelve people including three children had got struck in the snow while travelling by car from Bayantsogt soum in Tuv province to Ulaanbaatar city. When the ‘Pajero’ rescuers were rushing to the scene they were stopped  by traffic police officers at the 22nd road post who were tasked with enforcing the minister’s order. Fortunately, they successfully convinced the officers and managed to rescue the trapped people who otherwise would have frozen to death.
