Blinkit Delivery Agent Seen Driving on Footpath in B’luru, Company & Traffic Police Respond
In a shocking video shared on social media, a Blinkit delivery agent was seen driving on a footpath in Bengaluru, leaving many concerned citizens wondering about the safety of pedestrians and traffic rules. The video, which has gone viral, shows the agent navigating through the crowded streets of the city on a two-wheeler, completely disregarding the traffic rules.
The video was shared by an X user, who requested the traffic police to “please stop this menace”. The user’s plea has now sparked a response from both the traffic police and the quick commerce company, Blinkit.
The video, which has been widely shared, shows the Blinkit delivery agent riding a two-wheeler on the footpath, weaving through pedestrians and other vehicles with ease. The agency’s logo is clearly visible on the vehicle, making it clear that this is a Blinkit delivery agent.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of pedestrians in the city and the blatant disregard for traffic rules shown by the agent. Many have taken to social media to express their outrage and disappointment at the scene, calling for stricter action against such violations.
The traffic police have responded to the video, asking for details about the area where the incident took place. In a statement, the traffic police said, “We have received the video and are investigating the matter. We request the citizen who recorded the video to provide more information about the location and time of the incident.”
Blinkit, the quick commerce company involved in the incident, has also responded to the video, saying, “We don’t condone traffic violations of any kind. The store partner who was involved in this incident has been alerted and we are taking necessary action to ensure that our agents follow traffic rules in the future.”
While the response from Blinkit is welcome, many are still left wondering how such a blatant violation of traffic rules could have occurred. The incident highlights the need for greater vigilance and enforcement of traffic rules, particularly in a city like Bengaluru where traffic congestion is already a major issue.
The incident also raises questions about the training and accountability of delivery agents like the one seen in the video. While companies like Blinkit are quick to respond to incidents like this, it is ultimately up to the agents themselves to follow traffic rules and ensure the safety of both themselves and others on the road.
In conclusion, the incident involving a Blinkit delivery agent driving on a footpath in Bengaluru is a stark reminder of the need for greater awareness and enforcement of traffic rules. While the response from the traffic police and Blinkit is welcome, it is essential that companies like Blinkit take concrete steps to ensure that their agents follow traffic rules and prioritize the safety of all road users.
