‘Joi Zubeen Da’ chants echo through Guwahati streets as lakhs of fans bid adieu to Zubeen Garg; Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit pause deliveries

New Delhi: After the tragic demise of Assam’s celebrated singer, who mesmerized an entire generation with his unique voice, the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led state government announced three-day state mourning. Online food delivery and quick commerce platforms such as Swiggy, Zomato and Blinkit also took a unique step as they remembered the singer.

Swiggy, Zomato, and Blinkit stopped their operations across the state while paying tribute to Zubeen. On Swiggy, the message read, “Sorry! Restaurants aren’t accepting orders at the moment. Please check back later.” “Please check back in a while,” flashed after opening the Zomato app. On Blinkit, it shows “currently unavailable” when the app is opened.

Massive crowd gathers to pay their final adieu to Zubeen Garg:

A massive crowd of fans of late singer Zubeen Garg – who lost his life while swimming in Singapore without a life jacket – gathered outside his residence and on roads in Assam’s Guwahati on Sunday, ahead of his funeral.
