Zomato delivery agent delivers food on horse during fuel shortage; viral video
Hyderabad: Amid the Fuel crises, a Zomato delivery agent is seen riding in a horse to deliver food in Hyderabad's Chanchalguda area on Tuesday. A video of the agent riding a horse went viral on social media with netizens praising his resourcefulness and dedication, while some wondered how long it would take to deliver the food.
Zomato is yet to comment on this viral video.
The move came in the backdrop of fuel shortages at petrol pumps, caused by truck driver’s protests against the new law on hit-and-run cases. The national wide protest led to panic buying of the fuel with many queuing up at petrol and diesel pumps.
Recently, the union government imposed severe penalties on drivers who flee accident scenes under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita legislation. Union government assured that it will have a discussion with them before implementing the provisions after which the protest ended on Tuesday night.

Vijay says no to CM convoy until swearing-in: TVK
Chennai (PTI): TVK chief Vijay declined to accept the police convoy vehicles provided to Tamil Nadu chief minister as per protocol until his swearing-in, the party said on Thursday.
A police official confirmed that the CM convoy vehicles provided to him "as per protocol" following the announcement of the Assembly election results were returned and have not been withdrawn.
The official also said that arrangements were in place for the swearing-in ceremony.
The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) clarified that its party founder Vijay had "personally requested that the convoy vehicles be returned". In a statement here, the TVK said: "Vijay conveyed that he would accept the official chief minister-level security only after forming the government with a decisive mandate".
Four convoy vehicles assigned to Vijay on May 4 after his TVK secured 108 seats in the Assembly polls returned from his residence following his request.
Even on May 6, the police had deployed security near his Panaiyur residence and in front of the Lok Bhavan here when Vijay called on Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to stake his claim to form the government. Vijay did not use the government vehicle to meet the Governor.
