While many netizens were left amazed from such a unique sight in the city centre, a considerable number of social media users hailed and in the meantime tagged Amazon and its owner Jeff Bezos to check the ‘determination’, ‘dedication’ and ‘commitment’ of the delivery boy, ensuring that the parcels reach intended customers on time.
Amid a flurry of retweets on the viral video, one user wrote: “Determination of a guy, should be given one time benefit.”

In a somewhat similar tone another user wrote “Nice advertisement and yes this is not innovation, rather helplessness that too in 21st century ad with few inches of snow.”
Besides Twitter, popular social media app Facebook was equally abuzz with video clips shared by users cherishg this peculiar sight of the youth with the horse.
While the video is garnering surprising reactions, the lanes and by-lanes in the Summer capital Srinagar and rest of the region still remains inaccessible to residents days after Kashmir had a ‘heavy snowfall’. (GNS)
