“This show of greeting displayed by the @DelhiPolice about one of their compatriots who got cured from #COVID-19 rightly touches the message of sensitization that is pertinent now,” the minister tweeted. He also mentioned that the video was captured by someone named Payal Mehta.

In the video, a person gets down from the car and others standing on a street start showering him with flower petals. Eventually, they clap and welcome him inside. They did all this while maintaining proper social distancing and keeping their masks on.

Since being shared, the video has garnered over 9,600 views – and the numbers are still counting. The video prompted tons of comments from people.

“Back on duty. Bravo,” wrote a Twitter user. “Heart touching gesture indeed,” expressed another. “This is so inspiring,” tweeted a third.
