While we understand that this isn't ideal, we're acting to execute things for you as soon as possible".The company said it has gone live in a few cities with the help of local authorities nd is hopeful of restarting operations in other cities within a day or two. It, however, did not disclose in which cities it has resumed delivery of essential items.People experienced similar woes on Bigbasket.Noida resident Arun Kumar, 42, placed an order for fruits on Thursday morning and got the message from Bigbasket: "Unfortunately, we do not have any available slots to service you right now.
