In a creative twist to navigate fuel shortages, a Zomato delivery executive in Hyderabad took an unconventional route, opting for horseback delivery. The incident, captured in a viral video shared on 'Arbaaz the Great's' X website page, has drawn widespread attention.
As the video gained traction, viewers praised the employee for his resourcefulness in the face of ongoing fuel-related challenges. Notably, Zomato has refrained from commenting on the viral footage.
This incident unfolded against the backdrop of a two-day strike by transport employees across states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Hyderabad. The strikes resulted in road blockades and fuel shortages, causing disruptions.
The video has become symbolic amid recent amendments to the Indian Penal Code, now termed 'Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita,' which has intensified penalties for accidental deaths in road accidents. These changes have increased potential jail terms to seven years.
The unique horseback delivery not only captures the challenges posed by the ongoing fuel crisis but also underscores the creativity and adaptability of individuals facing such circumstances.
