Orders pile up for online platforms in Delhi NCR, but delivery staff stay away due to bad weather
Many schools have shifted classes online while offices have implemented work-from-home arrangements due to pollution. Consequently, consumers are increasingly opting for online orders to reduce the need to step outside.
«Earlier, I used to deliver 30-35 orders a day, but now it's gone up to 45-50,» said a delivery partner working at Zepto. At night, deliveries take 5 to 10 minutes longer than usual because of the smog, he added.
Ecommerce giant Amazon has distributed N95 masks to protect against smog and is urging its service partners to provide them to their employees as well. The company is also seeing a fourfold increase in demand for air purifiers as northern India continues to face severe pollution.
“At Amazon, the health and safety of our partners, associates and drivers is of utmost importance. Amidst the current air quality concerns in Delhi NCR, as an immediate step, we have issued advisory on overall dos and don'ts,” said a spokesperson for Amazon India.
