Trending: Elevator denied to a delivery agent climbs 6 floors with a heavy parcel

The video has sparked debate online after the delivery agent was prevented from using the lift to deliver a heavy parcel.

A video has recently been widely circulated on social media, sparking a wave of reactions from netizens. It shows how a delivery agent is denied a lift in a building. This forces him to climb to the 6th floor to deliver a heavy parcel.

The delivery agent was not allowed to use a lift; they used stairs to reach the 6th floor.

A video, which has now gone viral, shows a delivery agent climbing with an oversized parcel after allegedly being denied access to the elevator in a residential building. This has sparked a debate on social media. In the viral clip, he is seen carefully climbing the stairs while carrying a large package on his back. The weight of the parcel can be seen affecting his movement. At one point, he nearly loses his balance. Despite facing difficulty, he continues climbing the stairs and reaching the apartment where the delivery was scheduled. However, the parcel appeared too large and heavy to fit easily through the apartment door. This forced him to manoeuvre awkwardly while trying to enter. As he stumbled again, a voice was heard from inside the apartment saying, “Aaram se (Be careful).”

Netizens react to the viral video.

The video has triggered a debate among netizens, with many users criticising housing societies that restrict service staff from using the main elevators, calling such rules discriminatory and inhumane. One user reacted, “Simple association dont have money for payment of electricity. So they are minimising the use of lift ..simple ..and it falls on delivery guy. Show off must go on.” Another expressed, “Some how India is still a sick society, we celebrate inhumane practices with pride.” Many others defended the practice, arguing that separate elevators or staircases are often designated for service workers to manage crowding or to comply with building regulations. One user wrote, “The story may be different…the society may not have service lifts and only passengers lift of less capacity and weightage..some time third party use these and lifts break down often and hence, many have put restrictions and need to take residents permission at security.”
