A Viral Moment 

A passerby recorded the unique sight and shared it on social media, where it quickly gained traction.

Netizens commended the delivery person’s dedication and commitment to his job, with some urging Zomato to recognize his extraordinary efforts by providing additional compensation. Humorous comments surfaced, questioning the survival of the food package during the ride but applauding the creativity of the solution.

Context Behind the Incident 

This incident unfolded against the backdrop of a recently amended law that imposes strict penalties on drivers who cause fatal accidents and flee the scene. The amendment seeks to address hit-and-run cases by introducing severe punishments, including imprisonment and substantial fines.

The nationwide strike by truck drivers came to a close after the government raised concerns regarding the hit-and-run legislation. The discussions aimed to address the grievances of the trucking community.

The Zomato delivery rider’s use of a horse as an alternative mode of transport amidst the fuel shortage crisis highlights the uniqueness of individuals in challenging times. His dedication to fulfilling his responsibilities amid adversity struck a chord with many, resonating with netizens.
