Delivery Platforms End 10-Minute Promise Amid Worker Safety Concerns; Mumbai River Pollution Highlighted

The Indian government has directed food and grocery delivery platforms to discontinue their '10-minute delivery' promises due to concerns over worker safety and extreme stress. Following a meeting with the Union Labour and Employment Minister, platforms like Blinkit and Swiggy are reportedly removing this timeline. An investigation into the Mithi River in Mumbai revealed severe pollution, with faecal coliform levels 127 times the permissible limit, despite significant funds allocated for its rejuvenation ahead of the BMC polls.
