Rourkela: Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. Who can understand this better than food delivery boys who drive around the city to deliver food on time. Well, not always.

Going to the root of the problem, the Indian restaurant aggregator and food delivery start-up, Zomato decided to take things in their own hands in Odisha – for the better. The company’s delivery riders could be seen repairing the roads in Rourkela on Sunday.

When curious passersby asked what was happening, a delivery rider said that the initiative had been taken to ensure that 20 to 30 percent of the city roads get repaired.

“Despite necessary documents, our riders are being fined under the new Motor Vehicles Act. We want that all the roads should be repaired first and then only penalties should be collected under the MV Act,” said a delivery rider.

“Repairing the potholes on roads will help us deliver food to the customers on time. It will also benefit hundreds of commuters,” said another delivery boy.

City people could be seen appreciating the effort of the riders.
