National Conference leader Omar Abdullah also shared the video, but took a dig at the administration on the 'poor' drainage system of Srinagar city.
"This chowk was just ‘beautified’ under the "Smart City" programme a month ago to impress the participants of the G20 tamasha. It’s a pity the basic drainage wasn’t improved when that metallic thing was put in the middle of the road," Abdullah said in a tweet.
The short video clip after being shared on the microblogging site has so far gained over 60,000 views, 125 likes and several comments.
On seeing the video, one of the user wrote, 'Appreciable, he should be rewarded'.

While another took on the government and wrote, "Above and beyond duty? Just callous administration. When we can send rockets to moon, can we not provide wellies (water proof boots) to government/civic employees who need it?".
