Raghav Chadha Applauds Centre's Action on Quick-Commerce Delivery Times
Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha expressed his gratitude to the central government on Tuesday. He thanked them for their intervention in removing the "10-minute delivery" branding from quick-commerce platforms. Chadha shared his thoughts in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Pressure on Delivery Riders
Chadha emphasized that this move was much needed. He noted that the pressure on delivery riders is real, constant, and dangerous. When "10 minutes" appears on a rider's uniform or a customer's screen, it creates unrealistic expectations. This situation forces riders to take risks to meet tight deadlines.
The Rajya Sabha MP stated his deep gratitude for the government's timely and compassionate action. He believes this step will help protect the lives and dignity of delivery partners across the country.
Conversations with Delivery Partners
Over the past few months, Chadha has spoken to hundreds of delivery partners. Many of them shared their struggles with him. He found that numerous riders are overworked and underpaid. They often risk their lives to fulfill promises that are difficult to achieve.
Chadha thanked every citizen who supported this cause. He acknowledged that people stood firmly on the side of human life, safety, and dignity. Their collective voice helped bring about this important change.
This intervention marks a significant shift in how quick-commerce platforms operate. It highlights growing concerns about worker safety in the gig economy. The removal of such branding could lead to more sustainable practices in the delivery industry.
