Swiggy Gurugram Traffic Police Delivering Safely Safety & Traffic Awareness Workshop

Swiggy collaborates with the Gurugram Traffic Police to organize a road safety and traffic awareness workshop for its delivery partners in Gurugram as part of its “Delivering Safely” road safety initiative.

The program was led by SH Virendra Vij, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Traffic Police, with the aim to educate and empower over 100 delivery partners in the NCR about road safety and accident prevention. Additionally, SH Sukhbir Singh, HPS-ACP Traffic Police, and ASI Rajesh provided training on key topics such as traffic rules, helmet usage, case studies, the consequences of reckless driving, and proper parking etiquette.

This was followed by a session where helmets were distributed, along with a lively roadshow by Swiggy’s delivery partner fleet, demonstrating Swiggy’s dedication to promoting responsible driving practices.

Swiggy’s spokesperson said, “In India, road accidents are a major problem that have a severe impact on both the economy and human life. They also result in injuries and fatalities. Between 4 and 5% of the nation’s GDP is lost to these mishaps annually. Most of the individuals impacted are those who are in the productive working age group, such as motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians. Swiggy is actively involved in raising awareness of road safety among our delivery partners in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, in keeping with our commitment to safety under the Delivering Safely programme. Our goal is to raise delivery staff members’ knowledge of traffic laws and ultimately improve their safety.”

Over time, Swiggy has organized campaigns in various cities throughout India, demonstrating its dedication to fostering a secure working atmosphere for its delivery team. Every Swiggy delivery partner is equipped with insurance coverage, ensuring their protection while navigating the roads.
