Attention, Delhiites! If you use an Ola or Uber cab for your daily travel to office or elsewhere in Delhi-NCR, you might have to look at alternative modes of transport today. Drivers of the two leading app-based cab aggregators are planning a complete shutdown in the city on Friday to press for their demands, according to a media report.
The announcement of an indefinite nationwide strike in the key cities of Mumbai, New
Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune had been made by the Ola and Uber drivers on March 19. However, a significant impact had so far been seen only in Mumbai; the other metros faced minimal impact.
Here are the top 10 developments so far in the Ola-Uber strike and stir:
- Uber, Ola plan a complete shutdown in Delhi-NCR today: Drivers, with the support of the Sarvodaya Drivers Association, are likely to protest against their low earnings. They are currently paid Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 a month, according to media reports.
- Ola, Uber deny shutdown claims: Both Ola and Uber on Thursday dismissed claims of a complete shutdown in Delhi-NCR, with an Ola spokesperson saying. “It’s business as usual for us in Delhi-NCR.”
- Ola strike in Mumbai called off: Claiming "victory" for the "owner-operators" of Ola cabs in Mumbai and other places, the transport wing of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena that was spearheading the stir, on Thursday said the Ola management, during their talks with the police and the wing's representatives had given a written commitment on meeting the various demands.
