Residents of Hyderabad witnessed a sight this morning: a Zomato delivery rider galloping through the streets on a majestic black horse to deliver the food on time, on January 3, 2023. The delivery executive delivered food on horseback because petrol and diesel supplies were hit across parts of the country due to the truckers' strike that entered the second day on Tuesday. Drivers of trucks, buses, and tankers had launched a three-day strike to protest against new laws for hit-and-run accidents. Approximately 2,000 petrol pumps, primarily located in western and northern India, faced fuel shortages as a result of a truckers' strike, PTI reported.
