Ride-hailing apps such as Ola, Uber and Rapido were sporadically impacted on Saturday as drivers went on a partial strike across several cities in the country.
Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) had called for a “breakdown” on February 7 to protest against existing rules and practices of app-based transportation platforms.
It has demanded that the Centre and state governments should notify minimum base fare app-based transport services and bar the use of non-commercial vehicles for commercial passenger and goods transport.
