Kashmir: Man arrives on horseback to deliver parcel as snow blocks roads, Amazon responds

In a one-of-a-kind incident which is now causing a stir on the internet, a delivery boy in Kashmir reportedly arrived on a horse to deliver parcels that he carried on his backpack. Due to heavy snowfall in Jammu & Kashmir, roads were blocked for several days including rail and air transport. While the cities in the region are covered with fresh snow in the recent days, the man mounting on the horse fascinated hundreds of internet users because of a peculiar amalgamation of ancient and modern times. In the video posted by the PTI photojournalist as “innovation”, the delivery man can be seen arriving at the doorstep on the animal and then scanning the barcode on the package. He can be seen wearing a mask and then placing the parcel on a snow mound outside the residential gate, probably to practice no-contact delivery amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In the short clip, which has garnered thousands of likes, the delivery man can be seen riding his horse again after leaving the parcel.
