A video of an Uttar Pradesh bus driver's innovative solution for a nonfunctional wiper has gone viral on the internet. Twitter user Vipin Rathaur shared the video on his timeline, which is now going viral. The caption of the video can be closely translated to "Wiper working with 'jugaad' in the Uttar Pradesh Transport Corporation bus."

In the viral video, as shot by the user, a bus operated by the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) can be seen parked at what looked like a bus stop. The noticeable thing on the bus is a water bottle that is fastened to the wiper. The driver has control over the wiper action via the rope fastened to the opposing side. The wiper is operating with the hanging water bottle as he moves the rope from his driver's seat. A for innovation.

A user wrote, "Uttam technology for people of Uttam Pradesh. Do they also have to take an anti septic shot before boarding the bus?"
