Delegation of Delhi's radio taxi drivers meet CM

A delegation of drivers of the city's radio taxis today met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and discussed with him their demands including a ban on app-based taxi service.

Rajwant Singh Saini, founder president of Azad Economy Radio Taxi Welfare Organisation, said that the CM has assured them that he would accept 75 per cent of their demands.

He said that in the meeting, they demanded that government set up halt & go stands for economy radio taxis across the national capital.

"We also demanded the government take a strict action against illegal call centres of app-based private taxis.

"Besides, we also raised the issue of implementing an 8-hour duty schedule for drivers as mentioned in the Motor Vehicle Act," Saini said.
 

Last month, Delhi's auto and yellow-black taxi unions had also demanded a stop to all app-based taxi services, saying that they were affecting their business in the capital.
