Like most of the firms, Google has also been doing its part in ensuring it simplifies the lockdown woes for the people. Google earlier had updated Google Maps to show the locations of food shelters and night shelters across cities and now is here with one more handy help.
Google has announced that it has rolled out a Google Assistant helpline number for Vodafone & Idea customers on 2G and feature phones. This, as per Google, will erode a citizen’s dependency on internet to help them find food and night shelters for themselves.
