IAS officer Supriya Sahu shared a video on Twitter which is doing rounds on the internet. The video is captioned as, “Look at the great Indian Jugaad to sterilise vegetables. The efficacy of this methodology can not be certified by me however India never fails to amaze. Truly Incredible India”.

In the video, the man is seen showcasing his smartness. He places the pressure cooker on a gas stove and turns on the stove. However, the man has replaced the whistle with a small pipe.
