A photograph capturing a delivery person in Delhi in tears following Zomato's decision to block his account has stirred emotions across social media platforms. Soham Bhattacharya, a user on X, shared the poignant account, revealing the distressing situation faced by the delivery worker.
¡°This guy¡¯s sister¡¯s wedding is in few days & @zomato @zomatocare blocked his account! He was sobbing like anything near GTB Nagar, going to everyone and asking for some money. He told me he didn¡¯t eat anything saving it all for her wedding,¡± Soham expressed on X.
Soham further elaborated, stating, ¡°He is doing Rapido as his Zomato account is blocked & he needs to collect fund some how.¡±
The online community echoed Soham's sentiments, expressing outrage towards Zomato. One user criticized, ¡°A normal day of being a ¡°delivery partner¡±. Have some shame @zomato!!¡± Another appealed directly to Zomato, stating, ¡°Please unblock his account @zomato, working class is the backbone of our society & economy. They earn money for their survival first, that¡¯s their everyday struggle. They don¡¯t have enough money at their disposal to lead a carefree life. How can somebody live without money?¡±
?After the post went viral, Zomato issued a statement assuring action. ¡°We deeply value our delivery partners, and we understand the impact that actions like blocking an ID can have. Rest assured, we take such matters seriously. We assure you, we¡¯ll look into this. Our delivery partners are as important to us as our customers.¡±
The incident has sparked broader discussions online, with users emphasizing the need for financial support and understanding for individuals in similar situations.
