Can’t they just quit their job instead of doing strikes and all if they don’t like their job ?
Edit: I change my stand now , I think Zomato should do something about this like asking delivery agents for preference(like ask if they mind deliverying non-vef or they agree to carry beef pork etc.)before they join or atleast they can give some priority to their selected option.

Religion ne barbad kar diya hai.. sabka.. practical koi nahi hona chahta bas ego hai.. work is my religion.. new generation should think practically.. no one come to rescue you in trouble..from any religion only your work will do.. religion tag hi sare problem ki jad hai. all are just human.. one religion in one planet..

I know this might hurt a few people, but there are so many vegetarians across the country. These people are involved in so many professions, CEOs, designers, coders, marketers, chefs, delivery boys, maids, cleaners and so many others.

My friend is a designer and works with a creative agency. One of his clients is KFC, when asked to design graphics and logos for them, should he say No, I won’t design cause they serve non-veg? His boss would kick him out of the office right away. He will have to do the job assigned because he agreed for it while joining, he agreed to do what he’s best at, doing his work, designing stuff no matter what/who it is for.

Imagine maids across the country, I know a few of them myself, they’re vegetarian but still cook non-veg dishes at several other places.

Now, turn the tables, imagine a non-veg cook saying no to cook veg dishes? Sounds funny, right? We live in a world of hypocrisy where some of them just want to keep criticising, make controversies, bring their religion in everything they do and make everyone’s life worse.

A lot of these delivery boys go back home and then drink when they’re tired. Isn’t drinking haram in their religion?

Oops, now they don’t want to follow their religion anymore now.

The world is a funny place and the credit goes to all such people.

You are ignoring the big issue here, Chicken=/= BEEF/PORK…..also your friend’s job is different from delviery boy’s job, there is no solution to his problem, he cannot design brinjal in place of chicken, but here delivery boy’s issue can be solved.

your point- Imagine maids across the country, I know a few of them myself, they’re vegetarian but still cook non-veg dishes at several other places.

→ poor maids have no other choice other than cooking non veg dishes, but here we can create solution for delivery boys.

your point- Now, turn the tables, imagine a non-veg cook saying no to cook veg dishes? Sounds funny, right? We live in a world of hypocrisy where some of them just want to keep criticizing, make controversies, bring their religion in everything they do and make everyone’s life worse.

→> there is no such thing like non veg chef, also this argument is plain stupid. No offence please.

Your point→ A lot of these delivery boys go back home and then drink when they’re tired. Isn’t drinking haram in their religion?

→ Drinking is freedom of choice. but also bad……
also how can you conclude that the delivery boy who are drinking are the ones protesting, there is no data to prove this.

You have your mind set towards one agenda and this is bad for you. You should have free neutral mind, spend and hour or so on thinking whenever you free and create a solid ideology for your self please.

India is a country of DIVERSITY, and adjustments should be made to keep the society functioning.

I agree with @digyvijaykumar123
There is nothing wrong in introducing such function in app
If u prefer work more than religion u will directly accept it without having any other second thought
But if u consider giving more importance to religion u always will get an choice to deny it

Or maybe, Zomato should include a clause (checkbox) in their agreement which they ask to sign from delivery agents when they offer these guys a job, about whether they are okay with delivering veg or non-veg or beef or pork or icecream.

Upon the response of person, Zomato can chose whether they have a suitable opening for the person or not. And I think that’s what they are going to do.

politicians bad move is sinking the economy and you are blaming hard working delivery boys for it? ?? cry

Modi on ReD fort ,on 15th AUGUST speech, — Dear indian Citizens i am well aware of downfall of our economy this year, and i know the reason for it. These zomato delivery boys are very religious and demanding, they are sole cause of economic crisis. If they are not expelled from their job then we may see great depression like 1929 very soon.

Also you said and some idiots with religious bankruptcy is spreading the hatred and animosity…. …→ i think you did not read the article, this is prime example of “BROTHERHOOD” where hindi and muslim brothers are fighting for each other’s beliefs together. Very beautiful , very cool.I love it.

Technical solution for this is easily possible, however if implemented, we are headed to the middle ages
The delivery boy has got no business knowing the contents of the package being delivered, even if known to him his job is to deliver the food.
No one is asking delivery boy to open the food and taste it.If one cannot respect the occupation from where they are earning a livelihood, they better should not opt for such a job.
Also i feel this campaign is sponsored by “some” political party, else delivery boys are not millionaires to stay off their work for weeks.
And finally all life is equal, i know there are different religious beliefs, however i believe if you are killing a chicken and a buffalo, you are killing an animal which has a soul, they might look different, have different perceptions in your mind, however both are raised by humans by objective of being killed and sold for their meat
p.s. I am not a vegetarian

do not disclose the dish, just create categories like we do have for veg/non veg food./.green mark veg…brown/red mark common meat/…yellow mark -egg… similar like that……………………………and all life equal theory is bullshit, when we walk we kill many small insects, when we eat vegetables we kill living plant ..but i do not want to discuss veg/non veg/killing animals etc….all i want is right for delivery boys which they deserve……….

If you do not allow this, then remove all mark of veg/non veg from products? why there is mark if it is taking us to middle ages? If your answer is – it is for customer choice then i would say why not same for delivery agents? delivery agents are humans too.

This is trick used by refunders to keep zomato peeps involved in such things rather patching and catching refunders.

Stupid controversy. Somebody paid them to create this nonsensical chaos.
There are many unemployed ppl looking for jobs to survive so they can kindly quit and let others have a chance.
