Blinkit Delivery Agent Seen Driving on Footpath in B’luru, Company & Traffic Police Respond
In a shocking incident, a video has emerged showing a Blinkit delivery agent driving on a footpath in Bengaluru. The video has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for action to be taken against the agent and the company.
The video, shared by an X user, shows the Blinkit delivery agent driving a scooter on a footpath in a busy area of Bengaluru. The user, who wishes to remain anonymous, captioned the video “Please stop this menace” and tagged the Bengaluru Traffic Police, urging them to take action against the agent.
The video quickly went viral, with many people expressing shock and outrage at the agent’s reckless behavior. “This is insane! How can he do this?” wrote one commenter. “What about pedestrian safety?” added another.
The Bengaluru Traffic Police responded to the video by asking for more information about the location where the incident took place. “Can you please share the location and time of the incident?” they asked. “We will take necessary action.”
The quick commerce company, Blinkit, also responded to the video, saying that they do not condone traffic violations. “We don’t condone traffic violations and are committed to providing a safe and responsible delivery experience to our customers,” they said in a statement. “The store partner has been alerted and we will take necessary action to prevent such incidents in the future.”
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of pedestrians and other road users in Bengaluru. “This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed,” said a local resident. “We need to ensure that our roads are safe for everyone, and that includes pedestrians and cyclists as well as drivers.”
The Bengaluru Traffic Police have been working to improve road safety in the city in recent years, but there is still much work to be done. In 2020, the police launched a campaign to crack down on traffic violators, and have since increased the number of traffic police personnel on the streets.
Despite these efforts, traffic violations remain a major problem in Bengaluru. According to data from the Bengaluru Traffic Police, there were over 12,000 traffic violations reported in the city in 2020 alone. This includes everything from speeding and reckless driving to parking violations and traffic signal jumping.
The incident with the Blinkit delivery agent is just the latest in a long line of traffic violations reported in Bengaluru. It highlights the need for greater awareness and enforcement of traffic rules in the city, and for companies like Blinkit to take responsibility for the actions of their agents.
As the city continues to grow and develop, it is more important than ever that we prioritize road safety and take action to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future.
