Bureaucrat shares picture of truck carrying logs, says ‘definition of irony’

The picture shows a truck laden with wooden logs.

Bureaucrat Avneesh Sharan, who is known for his quirky and informative posts on Twitter, again posted an image that is creating waves on the micro-blogging website. He shared the photo saying that it depicts “irony”.

It depicts a man driving a truck laden with logs that were collected after the trees were cut down. But the message on the rear side of the vehicle has caught the attention of Twitter users. The message says “Plant more trees”.

Mr Sharan captioned the post as “the definition of irony”.

The viral picture has garnered over 11,000 likes. The post has also been shared thousands of times and users have made many comments.

One user wrote, “Plant more trees” – so that I can cut them. He’s right, in terms of his business,” while another said, “It’s happening all over India.”

A third user commented, “No, business motto. You plant, we reap.”

Recently, a video shared by Mr Sharan on Twitter went viral on social media, in which a woman was crossing a railway track just before the train arrived on another track.

“Life is yours. The decision is yours,” read the post caption when translated into English.

Several people can be seen exiting a train that is not even standing on the platform in the footage. A train is approaching, and the person who was recording the scene can be heard warning people trying to cross the track. However, one family was so frightened by the warning that they immediately started throwing their belongings on the other side of the track.

Then, all of a sudden, a woman decides to cross a railway track, and she does so moments before one train turns on the other. Several users criticized her “reckless act”, which they said could have led to her death. Fortunately, she was able to return to a safe place.

The video has got more than 2 lakh views.
