Noida: Home delivery, which was stopped by the police noida after 10pm a week ago, could continue, but only after police verification, not only from the shipping agent but also the vehicle they used.
At a meeting with restaurant owners and food business owners on Wednesday, the police said the verification process would begin with a shipping agent associated with a food aggregator such as Zomato and Swiggy to start and then covered related to e-commerce companies such as Amzaon, Flipkart and others .
The meeting with Police Commissioner Alok Singh was sought by food businesses who were not happy with the police moving, who followed the killing of the cloud kitchen owner on September 1 at Mitra Enclave Mitra Greater during a late fighting fight.
The food outlet owner saw the sidewalk, applying during hours of night, as a big blow to their business.
The crackdown suddenly also left many people depending on the order of takeaway for dinner or other food, because they could not or did not have time to cook, in trouble.
Shipping in Noida has stopped at 10pm for the past week.
The night at night has now relaxed one hour until 11pm by the state government.
But it is not clear whether shipping will be permitted, without verification, up to 11:00.
Entrepreneurs who were at the meeting demanded that home shipments be allowed to continue as before but were told by the commissioner who could only occur once the verification process began.
Police plan to make a help desk for verification.
At present, according to restaurant owners, shipping agents are only verified by third parties.
The police felt that the existing system was inadequate and “more stringent and more reliable” needed police verification to ensure no one with a criminal background that moves in providing food and other items.
Vehicle verification is to check whether they are related to any criminal incidence in the past.
In addition to food business owners, Swiggy and Zomato representatives also attended the meeting.
Varun Khera, President Chapter Noida from the Indian National Restaurant Association present at the meeting, told Tii, “The police hold that the right shipping executive requires the right police verification.
We told the commissioner that verification was actually done by third parties through the court.
Representatives Swiggy and Zomato told that between 5,000 and 7,000 shipping executives worked in the district.
The police commissioner said they could not be allowed to move at night without the right verification.
We requested that the aid desk be set to speed up the process, “he said.
What this means is that food delivery late at night will likely be affected in the near future because verification will not occur overnight and only a large number of agents expected are available to take orders after the process runs.
The help desk tends to function from the Surajpur Comician office under the additional DCP (crime) of Eamaran G.
“We told the police that because most shipping agents came from states and other districts, the process would take time,” said Khera.
Eamaran G said the plan was to start verification with the shipping agent originating from Gautam Budh Nagar and then included all agents related to Swiggy and Zomato.
“After covering the food delivery platform, this model can be replicated to the executive who works for other platforms,” he said.
“Representatives of Swiggy and Zomato are informed that the Labor Law does not apply to the shipping executive, and hence, the platform is not involved in their verification process directly,” he added.
“At present, they only get a third party verification done where Onus lies in the agent.” Eamaran G said verification would be similar to home servants and RS 50 will be charged for each verification.
Swiggy and Zomato did not respond to requests for comments.
Verification of police agents, vehicles must before late night delivery can be continued in noida
