With commendable dedication towards duty, this undaunted foot soldier of India's energy sector braves the impact of #Biparjoy to supply an #Indane refill at a consumer's home in village Dhok in Barmer, Rajasthan."
In the clip posted by the minister, a man can be seen carrying a gas cylinder to a house in Barmer's Dhok village amid heavy rain. The rod in front of the house is completely waterlogged as there is heavy flow of rain water.
The video since being shared has garnered over 1 lakh views and tons of comments appreciating the delivery man's effort.
"I must say that these delivery people are most underrated and under paid. They lift this weight and climb floors & floors on a daily basis to keep several kitchens working. High time their salaries are reviewed & revised. Also they need better vehicles for efficient delivery," commented one user after seeing he video.
"Fighting against nature has been proved by making seamless delivery of cylinder once again. Kudos for the entire team.
Regards," wrote another user.
"A matter of pride for all employees in petroleum sector," wrote a third.
