Now, although numerous people have supported the delivery agent for this task, there are numerous netizens that have highlighted the cruelty shown by Zomato as a company. Many people have shared that the company should not accept orders when there are such pathetic conditions of roads.

One of the netizens commented, “NO. I request Zomato to prioritize the safety of their delivery person first and give them an option in their booking window that allows them to cancel the delivery of orders in situations of extremely poor weather conditions and other hazards that put the delivery person’s life at risk. Stop glorifying a person’s helplessness for determination.”

Meanwhile, another user added, “The abomination in this video is that Zomato doesn’t give explicit instructions to their delivery partners NEVER to put their health and safety at risk. Given the appalling state of our cities, you could get electrocuted, fall into an open manhole, etc., in flooded streets. Pay decent wages to your delivery partners so that they don’t feel the need to put their lives in jeopardy.”

Ahmedabad Floods

Presently, the city of Ahmedabad and other parts of Gujarat have been suffering through heavy floods. This has led to severe disruptions due to continuous heavy rainfall over the past few days in areas like Vadodara.

The streets are submerged under 10 to 12 feet of water. The Vishwamitri River, which runs through the city, has overflowed after breaching its danger mark. So far, these floods have claimed the lives of 35 people.
