No delivery of food and groceries..!?
people suffering..?
The tech city of Bengaluru, which has been inundated for the past few days, has seen 130 mm of rain overnight, turning many places into flooded jungles. It is also seen that
people are unable to travel in
vehicles and are traveling in tractors. Especially in low-lying areas,
people are unable to leave their homes and are paralyzed in their homes.
While many IT companies have already allowed working from
home, some
people are forced to go to the office. However, more and more
people are stuck at
home and are unable to go out to buy essential items. In an environment where
people cannot go out, many
people have started resorting to online delivery companies. But amid this crisis, there have been widespread allegations that food and grocery delivery apps are not accepting orders in some locations.
Companies will deliver soon. Especially they advertise that they deliver regardless of time, rain or sun. But they delay in delivery. Bangalore residents have complained that sometimes they don't take orders. In this tweet by
swiggy Instamart CEO,
karthik Kurumurthy, some places have been badly affected by the rains. Some places like Sarjapur, Marathahalli, and Bellandur have faced heavy rains.
They are working with our vendors to ship as many orders as possible today. He said to trust their orders and it may be delayed. But
karthik Gurumurthy said on his
twitter page that they will deliver, many corporates including
flipkart are asking
people to work from home. Companies are closely monitoring the current situation. They are working with their staff to help those affected by the rains.
flipkart said that they have taken steps to contact in case of emergency. It must be said that during such challenging times it is definitely not possible for employees to get orders on time.
