Blinkit Delivery Agent Seen Driving on Footpath in B’luru, Company & Traffic Police Respond
In a shocking incident, a video has gone viral on social media showing a Blinkit delivery agent driving a two-wheeler on the footpath in Bengaluru. The incident has sparked outrage among netizens, with many calling for the company and authorities to take immediate action to prevent such incidents in the future.
The video, shared by an X user on social media, shows the Blinkit delivery agent navigating through the city’s busy streets on the footpath, seemingly unaware of the dangers and inconvenience he is causing to other road users. The user captioned the video, “Please stop this menace” and tagged the Bengaluru Traffic Police, urging them to take action against the errant delivery agent.
The video quickly went viral, with many users expressing their shock and dismay at the agent’s reckless behavior. “This is ridiculous! How can someone be so reckless and irresponsible?” wrote one user. “What’s wrong with these delivery agents? Don’t they know that driving on the footpath is illegal and dangerous?” asked another.
The viral video didn’t go unnoticed by the authorities, with the Bengaluru Traffic Police responding promptly to the user’s request. They asked for details about the area where the incident occurred, indicating that they were serious about taking action against the errant delivery agent.
Interestingly, the Blinkit company also responded to the viral video, condemning the agent’s behavior and assuring that action would be taken. “We don’t condone traffic violations of any kind,” said a company spokesperson. “The store partner has been alerted, and we will take appropriate action to ensure that our delivery agents adhere to traffic rules and regulations.”
The incident highlights the need for greater awareness and training among delivery agents, particularly those working for quick commerce companies like Blinkit. With the rise of online food ordering and delivery services, there has been a surge in the number of delivery agents on the roads, leading to concerns about safety and traffic congestion.
The Bengaluru Traffic Police have been working hard to improve road safety in the city, and incidents like this only serve to underscore the need for greater awareness and enforcement. As the city continues to grow and evolve, it is essential that authorities and companies work together to ensure that road users are safe and that traffic rules are enforced.
In the meantime, it is up to individual citizens to report such incidents and hold companies and authorities accountable for their actions. By doing so, we can work together to create a safer and more responsible road culture in Bengaluru and beyond.
