Swiggy Delivery Agent Falls From Moving Train
A Swiggy delivery person was delivering food to a passenger on a moving train in Andhra Pradesh.
The train stopped for just a minute or two, and the delivery person gave the food to the passenger.
But when he tried to get off the train, it started moving again, and he fell onto the platform.
Luckily, he wasn't hurt badly.
Swiggy says they don't allow their workers to get on or off moving trains, and they are going to make sure their workers know the safety rules better.
People on social media were shocked and said that delivery workers take big risks for our convenience, and that there should be better rules to keep them safe.
The video of the incident went viral, and many people are asking for better safety measures and compensation for the delivery worker.
A Swiggy delivery agent fell from the Prashanti Express while attempting to deboard after delivering a food order at Anantapur railway station.
The train halted for only 1-2 minutes, and the agent fell when the train started moving before he could safely exit.
A video of the incident went viral, sparking widespread concern and discussion on social media about the safety of gig workers.
Swiggy confirmed that the delivery partner is safe and unharmed, and the company strictly prohibits boarding or exiting moving trains.
