Goyal responded to Surya’s post saying “Thank you so much Tejasvi 🫡”.

“Hello Deepinder, in Bengaluru South, we've taken few key measures to better the working conditions of delivery executives.
When we set up a resting point for delivery partners at the Vega City Mall in June 2023, we ensured that they have convenient access to the mall & are able to enjoy a break during the wait for the order.
With essential amenities such as first-aid, drinking water, and clean restrooms, the point provides a place for all delivery partners to rest, rejuvenate, and recharge. We were the first to do this in Bengaluru South, understanding the daily struggles that delivery partners go through.
Also happy to inform that under the MPLADS, we set up the first resting point for wheelchair delivery partners outside the MP office in Jayanagar. Here, we welcome delivery partners and provide them drinking water, restrooms & mobile charging points.
We will further work on building such spaces for the benefit of gig workers in Bengaluru South, making it a model for the rest of the country.”
