The video, which has garnered over 320,000 views, has led to a debate about food delivery services during natural disasters. Some users praised the delivery agent’s commitment, while others criticized the customer who placed the order under such severe conditions.
Comments On X include:
“Who is that intelligent person who ordered food in these testing times? Need to find that person,”
“Services need to be turned off in this kind of situation,”
“Zomato should be sued. Putting company employees in danger in such natural calamities ~ such services should be closed,”
“The customer needs to be penalized for ordering unless they were out of food,”
“Responsibility in life teaches one to work very hard, salute to this brother,”
“Deepinder Goyal, Zomato, please reward this guy.”
The heavy rains, attributed to Cyclone ‘Asna,’ have caused widespread flooding in Gujarat, leading to dangerous conditions, including crocodiles invading residential areas.
