New Delhi: Uber cab driver protest against ban

India Blooms News Service | | 13 Dec 2014, 10:10 pm
New Delhi, Dec 12 (IBNS) Demanding for a revocation of the ban imposed on the operations of internet-based taxi firm Uber in New Delhi, hundreds of cab drivers employed with it protested against the move at Jantar Mantar in the national capital on Friday.

As outcry followed over the rape of the young woman by a driver of US-based Uber cab firm in Delhi, the national capital government has decided to ban all internet apps based radio taxi services.

Uber has been banned from operating by the Delhi government.

The company is under scanner and its CEO in India was called by authorities. Reports said FIR had been lodged against Uber, which apparently had double standards in verifying records of drivers in India and elsewhere in other parts of the world.

The measures were taken following a national outrage over the rape of a woman on Friday allegedly by the driver of an Uber cab she had hired. The woman was raped apparently 3-km away from her house in Inderlok, near the Zakira bridge and the busy Inderlok metro station.
