Karnal gets local food delivery app

rnal, May 17

To overcome the complaints of restaurants and bakery owners of being charged exorbitant prices by online food delivery apps, the district administration on Friday launched a local online app “Locally”, developed by a developer of Karnal.

The app offers home delivery of food from over 40 restaurants and bakeries at delivery charges between Rs25-40, depending upon distance. The app has been initiated on the call of the PM to endorse products to make ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.

“It has been developed by Karnal for Karnal in an attempt to provide online food delivery during the extended Covid lockdown period. Partner restaurants and bakeries will offer their food at minimal rates and the entire delivery charge amount will be transferred to the delivery partner,” said DC Nishant Kumar Yadav. “The purpose of the app is to ensure food at lesser prices for customers, besides providing job to locals.”

The DC said there would be an endeavour to ensure safe and contactless delivery at all times. He appealed the residents to download the app from Google Play Store to join hands to make the local venture a success. —TNS
