KOCHI: The closure of restaurants and hotels in Kochi due to the non-availability of commercial LPG has had yet another ripple effect. Many gig workers engaged in food delivery were without enough runs to make these past two days. “I have been working over 15 hours a day for the past two days. But to make 36 delivery runs, which opens the first door of incentives, is impossible. “It’s from Dindigul Thalappakatti restaurant in Panampilly Nagar,” he said, pointing to an alert on the food delivery app.
