NEW DELHI: Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday asked major food delivery and quick-commerce platforms to do away with rigid '10-minute' delivery time commitments, stressing that the safety of delivery partners must come before speed.
Mandaviya held discussions with officials of Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy and Zomato here, during which, he advised them to remove strict delivery deadlines from their platforms and promotional material in the interest of delivery workers’ safety.
Following the intervention, Blinkit has apparently removed its “10-minute delivery” claim from all its brand platforms.
