Chandigarh: Tricity Cab Association to protest against illegal taxis outside Raj Bhavan
Chandigarh, September 26: The Tricity Cab Association (TCA) is set to stage a protest against illegal taxis on Monday.
The taxi and cab drivers will protest outside the Punjab Raj Bhavan, demanding the State Transport Authority (STA) stop unauthorised aggregators from illegally operating bike taxis and private four-wheelers.
Drivers are confronted with fierce competition as a result of the influx of unlimited cars by gig platforms in the city. To make matters worse, aggregators are attaching private bikes for use on roads as commercial vehicles.
