Technology giant Google has introduced a new feature called 'Nearby Spot' under its Google Pay platform, enabling the users to search for the local stores selling essential items such as groceries which are operational amid the lockdown, reports Economic Times.
The application currently serves Google users in Bengaluru. However, Google is planning to launch it soon in Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi.
Announcing the development in a blog post, Google India emphasised that it has taken a slew of measures to ensure access of authoritative and reliable information to the people and to provide relevant features across its products which can be useful during these trying times. These products include Search, Maps, Youtube and Pay.
Meanwhile, Google India had last week also launched a Covid-19 website which collates updated information as well as live statistics on a single page, enabling easy access to reliable information. The website presently supports English, Hindi and Marathi on smartphones, and is set to be rolled in more vernacular Indian languages soon.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
