 "Delhi taxi, autorickshaw unions threaten strike from Tuesday")
Taxi and autorickshaw unions in Delhi Friday threatened to go on an indefinite strike from July 26 if their demand for banning the app-based cab services in the city is not met.
"If the Delhi government does not pay heed to our demand immediately, all yellow-black taxis and autorickshaws will go off the roads from July 26," said Rajendra Soni, the General Secretary of Delhi Autorickshaw Sangh and Delhi Pradesh Taxi Union.
"The app-based private taxi services violate rules and are affecting our business. The then Transport Minister Gopal Rai had on April 17 given a written assurance to rein in app-based taxi services, but the government has done nothing so far," Soni said, adding 18 transport unions have agreed to participate in the strike.
