Auto, taxi drivers in Delhi-NCR launch 2-day strike; demand ban on Ola, Uber

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: The transportation services in parts of Delhi and the National Capital Region were affected on Thursday following a two-day strike launched by the unions of auto and taxi drivers. Kishan Verma, president of the Delhi Auto Taxi Transport Congress Union, said that cab aggregators such as Ola, Uber, and Rapido are affecting their livelihoods and eating up their earnings. “The strike is to save jobs and provide for the families of auto and taxi drivers.” Demanding to ban the app-based services, Verma said that illegal mobile app-based companies like Ola, Uber, and Rapido are using private vehicles—private cars with white number plates, motorcycles, and scooters—to transport passengers, which is impacting the livelihood of auto and taxi drivers. “We urge the central government and state governments, including Delhi, to impose a complete ban on these mobile app-based companies.Illegal mobile app-based companies like Ola, Uber, and Rapido are using private vehicles to transport passengers…,” said Verma. Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh general secretary Rajendra Soni, however, said that the strike was ineffective because autos and kali-pili taxis continue to operate in the city.
