Gig workers in Kochi in a do-or-die gamble as restaurants fold amid LPG shortage

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. At best, I can do 18 or 20. This weekend, maybe 25,” Dilshad V S told TNIE.
