App-based taxi operator 'Taxi For Sure' and another operator had also applied for licences and similar 'deficiency memo' were served to them as well.
"We have issued them a deficiency memo on January 24 and a reminder was also sent in this regard on February 11. Since no reply was received on any of the two communications, we have given them a final opportunity to furnish the details within seven days," said a senior transport department official.
