Stop Ola cabs, uphold taxis - drivers demand


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (DV)

Mangaluru, Jun 17: "For several years, minorities and unemployed youth of Dakshina Kannada have been leading life running maxicab and taxi service through loans from the bank. After the government gave
permission for Ola cabs to run, employees of maxicabs and taxis have been put through hardships and this has affected their livelihood," reported Canet D'Souza secretary of Dakshina Kannada Zilla Karmikara
Parishath (R) and maxicab-taxi driver owners association (R). He addressed a press meet here on Friday June 17.


He further said, "The government favours the rich and has provided permission for Ola cabs to run their service. The government does not worry about the poor maxicab and taxi drivers. They are in a similar situation as the 1,000 farmers who committed suicide. During elections politicians give false assurances to the poor. The government must cancel the permission of Ola cabs to run, thereby providing oppurtunity for the poor to lead their life."
