Zomato-owned Blinkit reportedly had to shut down some of its dark stores in Delhi NCR, and remains temporarily unavailable as delivery persons keep protesting against the pay cut.
"We had to shut down some stores for a few days to ensure safety of our employees at stores and the delivery partners. Most of these stores have now resumed operations," Zomato said.
Some fifty odd workers at multiple locations that The Indian Express spoke to said that after experiencing the new payout structure, they realised that it will slash their daily income by 40-50 per cent.
