Bengaluru: The city police permitted e-tailers to deliver groceries, medicines and other essentials with permission, a top official said on Thursday.

He published an exhaustive list of e-commerce players, which also includes Shadowfax, Peelwater, Snapzo, Shop G, Towness and others.
All the online platforms and apps have to obtain passes for their delivery personnel and vehicles from any of the eight Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCP) offices in the city.
