Bengaluru: Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao has warned food delivery companies that stringent action will be taken against as many delivery persons violate the traffic rules when in a hurry to deliver food to the customers.
Taking to Twitter, Rao, on Tuesday, wrote, “Do we have the heart to get a free pizza from a kid who is risking his life just because he crossed over 30 mns. Am seriously considering asking Pizza companies to make it 40 mns as these kids risk their lives by breaking all Traffic rules.”
