Viral video: Amazon delivery man rides horse to drop off orders amid snowfall in Srinagar

In what appears to validate Amazon's fast delivery claims, a video of the company's delivery executive from Srinagar is going viral who is actually delivering parcels on horseback amid heavy snowfall in the region. The video was shared by several people on social media and later, Amazon confirmed that the executive is indeed associated with the company.

The video was shared on Twitter by photojournalist Umar Ganie, in which the man can be seen riding a horse on the snow-covered roads in Srinagar. Later, he gets off the horse and scans the code on the parcel on his phone before delivering it to the customer. He then climbs back on the horse and leaves.

"Amazon delivery innovation," Umar Ganie said in the caption of the video.

One user even suggested asking Amazon to deliver COVID-19 vaccines.
