No Swiggy, Zomato, Or Amazon Deliveries In Central Delhi From September 8–10 Due To The G20 Summit

The G20 Leaders’ Summit is scheduled to be held from September 9–10 at the newly built international convention and exhibition center, Bharat Mandapam, at Pragati Maidan. Since the G20 is a high-profile meeting, several restrictions are imposed in the New Delhi district, including the suspension of all online delivery and commercial services during that time.

In the New Delhi district, all cloud kitchens, businesses, markets, food delivery services, and commercial delivery services will be closed for three days, according to PTI.

“Cloud kitchen and meal delivery services are not permitted. Additionally, online delivery services like Amazon and Flipkart would not be permitted to operate in the regulated zone. In a press briefing on September 4, Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) SS Yadav said that delivery personnel could carry medications and other necessities.

Special Commissioner of Police SS Yadav continued, “Cloud kitchens and food delivery, or any commercial deliveries like Amazon deliveries, would not be allowed as we have stopped commercial services in the NDMC region.

However, deliveries of crucial medical supplies, such as lab results and sample collection, will be allowed all around the city. Following verification, vehicles used by hotels, hospitals, and other large New Delhi District installations for housekeeping, catering, trash removal, etc. will be allowed.

Essential services, including postal, medical, and pathology lab sample collection, will be permitted across Delhi, Mr. Yadav continued.

The senior officer further stated that, other than the Supreme Court station, there will be no changes to the metro services.

Due to VIP movement and security constraints, gates at stations may be closed for a period of 10 to 15 minutes. However, other than in Pragati Maidan (Supreme Court), metro services won’t be impacted, he noted.

In the meantime, due to the G20 summit, all central government offices in the nation’s capital will be closed from September 8 to 10.
