  • ‘India should not worry,’ says Russia on strengthening Pakistan tires; Claim to visit Putin

    Russia on Monday said New Delhi should not be worried about its relationship with Pakistan but noted that Moscow is committed to developing ties with Islamabad as it is a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). Deputy Chief of the Russian mission Roman Babushkin said Russia’s ties with Islamabad are “independent” in nature and that his government is mindful of respecting sensitivities of other countries.

    “We do not think India should be worried,” he said at a media briefing when asked about Russia’s military drills with Pakistan as well as trade cooperation. 

    “Russia is very cautious when it comes to respecting the sensitivities. But at the same time, we regard our relationship with Pakistan as independent in nature and we also have bilateral trade and economic agenda. We are quite committed to develop this relationship further including from the point of view of Pakistan being a partner country in the framework of the SCO,” Babushkin said. “At the same time, we have reached advanced-level exercises with India as well,” he added.

  • Zomato launches new service, will not take any commission from restaurants

    Restaurant-to-home food service Zomato said on Wednesday that it has offered to deliver orders at zero commission to partner restaurants to help bring the industry back on track.

    Online food delivery company Jomato said in a blog post that the catering business is now gaining momentum after the initial setback due to the epidemic, but the growth is not uniform. “In our last mid-Kovid-19 report, we wrote about how the catering order business is making a strong comeback after the initial setback due to the epidemic.” Today we are at 110 per cent of the GMV (gross goods value) before Kovid-19. ”

    Jomato said that according to the World Health Organization (WHO) the food supply is safe and people should not be afraid of food packaging. The blog post further stated, “We have delivered more than 13 crore orders since the start of the lockdown in March and no cases of Kovid-19 infection have come to light through catering and packing.”

    It further said that the signs are encouraging, but this growth is not uniform and the food service industry is still not fully back on track. According to the blog post, help is still needed to bring this area back to the pre-Kovid-19 level and Jomato is making every effort in this direction.
