A. On the Explanatory Note
1. The policy issue was identified clearly: “It is unfortunate to know, however, that there are unscrupulous individuals who would cancel their orders even if the applicable service provider has already placed and paid for the food or grocery items which were already confirmed to be paid and are ready for delivery. This devious machination wastes not only precious time of the riders that ply our roads but it also exposes the riders from unnecessary risks in order to deliver what has been expected from them on time and intact.”
