Cabbies are up in arms against what they say is the illegal plying of taxis registered in States other than Telangana, and have demanded the Transport Department take strict action against these alleged errant drivers.
“We have been seeing taxis from other States moving on the roads and doing business. This is illegal and will affect out business,” said a cabbie requesting anonymity.
Cabbies who are associated with ride hailing apps such as Ola and Uber have been taking photographs of cabs which are registered in other States, such as Maharashtra and Karnataka, and have been sharing it in gig workers WhatsApp groups. Location where such cabs have been spotted is also being shared. The move is an effort to gather examples and collate data.
