Hyderabad: Cops break hunger strike by a section of cab drivers

The protestors allegedly accused the government and the companies of not looking into their demands.

Police asked the protesters to stop their agitation and later forcibly took them in police vehicles.

Since December 30, many drivers attached to the taxi-hailing apps are on strike in the city demanding that the companies not accept new registrations on their platforms as the existing cab owners are not able to make enough money.

Though the exact number of cabs attached to Uber and Ola is not officially known, the TCDOA claimed that over one lakh drivers belonging to both the taxi app companies are participating in the strike.
