Cab drivers protest about their demands

Hyderabad, February 11: Hyderabad Twin city Cab drivers took to the streets on Friday to protest against Ola and Uber companies. They alleged that the taxi aggregators had "cheated" cabbies by luring them with "false promises ".

The drivers, part of the Telangana Cab Drivers and Owners Association, begged at a traffic signal in a semi-nude condition to highlight their plight. They vowed to continue their fight till justice is delivered."About two hundred of us begged at the Jubilee Hills check-post to let people know about our situation.



We believed the taxi aggregators' false promises and started driving the cabs. But now we are finding it hard to make ends meet," said Shiva V, president, TCDOA(Telangana Cab Drivers and Owners Association).

He claimed that no inconvenience was caused to the common public because of the protest. "If we had begged at different signals, it would have inconvenienced common commuters.
