Google has incorporated a new feature called Nearby Spot in its Google Pay app, allowing users to find daily essential stores and shelters near them. 

Inc42 reports that the feature is currently available for users in Bengaluru, but the company will be rolling out the services for users in Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi soon. According to Google, The Spot also helps users donate to PM-CARES or to NGOs such as SEEDS, Give India, United Way and Charities Aid Foundation, which are working towards procurement of protective equipment for medical workers and relief for lockdown-impacted daily wagers.

To start off, Google has partnered with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and international health authorities to optimise its Google search page and promote accurate information from official sources. The company also started listing out details of the food and night shelters set up by the government across the country. 

So far, Google has identified more than 1,500 food and night shelters across 33 cities. This feature is accessible by Google Maps, Search and Google Assistant feature in both Hindi and English.
