Mangaluru, July 3, 2015 : The state government is cheating the tourist taxi drivers  who are paying taxes and earning a livelihood with great difficulty by allowing the Ola cab service to function in the city, alleged BJP leader and former MLC Monappa Bhandary.

 

He was addressing a protest organised  by the Dakshina Kannada Taximen’s and Maxi Cab Association in front of the DC office in the city on July 3, Friday. The taxi drivers also took out a protest march from Ambedkar Circle to  DC office prior to the protest.

Continuing, Bhandary said the earlier appeals to the authorities regarding the  problems faced by taxi drivers due to the operation of the Ola Cabs had yielded no result.

GR Shanmugappa, President of State Lorry Owners and Agents Association alleged that taxis under Ola Company fail to follow rules.
