The tweet was shared by user Priyanshu Dwivedi, who narrated the plight of Yogesh, the Litti Chokha seller who has a stall in Mumbai's Versova beach area. According to Dwivedi, he sells the 'best Litti Chokha in town' priced at just Rs. 20/- which includes two littis dipped in butter, chokha, chatni and salad.
He further revealed that Yogesh was trying to sell his delicious creations on Zomato but was unable to list his shop due to a lack of awareness around the process. He was thus planning to shut his business. "He told me that right now he is facing financial issues and facing a tough time. He said, 'Mahine ka kiraya nahi nikal paa raha hai bhaiya, oopar se yaha sabhi ko paise dene padte,'" wrote the user in his tweet.
The tweet received over 2.1k likes and hundreds of retweets from concerned Twitter users. They wanted to know where exactly the stall was so that they could pay a visit. Many also volunteered to help the Litti seller financially, asking for his UPI details. Take a look at the reactions:
After several requests, food-delivery application Zomato too stepped in and offered to help him get listed as a seller. Take a look:
