Food delivery aggregators Swiggy, Zomato and magicpin on Thursday said they recorded a massive surge in orders on New Year's Eve, even as a section of gig workers went on strike demanding better pay-outs and improved working conditions, with the agitation having a negligible impact on their operations.
The Gig & Platform Service Workers Union (GIPSWU) said over 1 lakh workers from 22 cities joined the strike, including 14,000 of its members from major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and others.

The Delhi Traffic Police issued 868 challans for drunken driving on New Year's Eve, marking an increase of about 56 per cent over last year when 558 motorists were booked for the offence, officials said on Thursday.

Cases of people suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting were first reported in the Bhagirathpura area of the city a week back. Local residents claimed that 13 people, including a six-month-old child, have died so far, while officials said only four deaths have been confirmed.
