Hyderabad, India – A unique solution to the city’s recent fuel shortage has gone viral, as a Zomato delivery agent was captured on video navigating the traffic-laden streets on horseback. The unusual mode of transport became necessary due to long queues at petrol pumps, caused by a truckers’ protest against the new hit-and-run law.
The video shows the delivery agent making his way through the bustling Chanchalguda area, where petrol pumps were closed and traffic was severely congested. With a Zomato delivery bag strapped to his back, he explained that after waiting in line for fuel for three hours, he decided to use his horse to fulfill his orders.
The truckers’ protest had led to widespread disruption across several cities, with long queues forming at petrol stations and causing traffic chaos. However, the demonstration ended after the government agreed to consult with stakeholders before implementing the controversial hit-and-run law.
The new law, part of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita, significantly increases penalties for hit-and-run offenses. Commercial vehicle drivers expressed concerns over the potential financial burden of the hefty fines.
While the delivery agent’s innovative approach to overcoming the fuel crisis has captured the public’s imagination, it highlights the broader impact of the truckers’ protest and the challenges faced by essential workers during such disruptions.
