In Hyderabad, long queues at petrol pumps due to truckers’ protests against the new hit-and-run law prompted a Zomato delivery agent to adopt an unconventional approach. A viral video captured the delivery man galloping on horseback through Chanchalguda, near the Imperial Hotel, as he navigated past the extended queues resulting from closed petrol pumps in parts of Telangana’s capital.
While some social media users lauded the inventive delivery method, others perceived it as a potential publicity stunt. “Where there is a will, there is a way… it might be to gain popularity and may not be real, but look at the positive side,” commented a netizen on a platform. Another user praised it as an eco-friendly mode of transport, stating, “I think it’s the best way of transport, doesn’t harm the environment.”
Social media buzzed with comments like “Just Hyderabad Things!” and humorous remarks like “India is not for beginners.” Reports suggest that the Zomato agent waited for over three hours at petrol stations without success, leading him to resort to this unique and eye-catching strategy.
The incident reflects the challenges faced by individuals in the midst of disruptions caused by protests and the ingenious ways people find to overcome obstacles. It also highlights the impact of societal issues on daily life, pushing individuals to think outside the box for solutions. As the video continues to circulate online, it serves as a testament to the resilience and creativity of individuals navigating challenges, even in the face of unexpected and unprecedented situations.
