Online deliveries in deep water after heavy rains as monsoon lashes northern India

Heavy rains in urban areas, including Delhi and the National Capital Region, have severely affected online deliveries. The flooding of roads and the overwhelmed drainage system caused delivery services such as Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, and Milk Basket to stop accepting orders. Many consumers, especially those in need of daily essentials, food, and medicine during the pandemic feel cut off. Restaurants are also facing severe disruption, with kitchen operations, supplies, and dine-ins being hampered as well.
