Food delivery app Zomato is in the limelight once again, as their delivery executives have announced an indefinite strike in West Bengal protesting against delivering beef and pork. “The company is not listening to our demands & forcing us to deliver beef & pork against our will. We have been on strike for a week now,” the protesting delivery executives said.
As the news about the protest started doing a rounds on internet, a company spokesperson said in a statement, "There is a small group of partners in Howrah who have raised concerns, and we are looking to resolve the issue as quickly as possible."
“In a country as diverse as India, it is impossible to ensure that vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences are factored into delivery logistics,” the statement added.
However, Twitterati was quick to react to call out the delivery personnel.
