Telangana gig workers announce flash strike during peak hours today

HYDERABAD: App-based cab drivers, auto drivers, goods transport drivers and delivery workers across Telangana will observe a statewide flash strike on Wednesday, disrupting ride-hailing, food delivery, grocery delivery and logistics services during peak demand hours.

The protest centres on long-pending demands for fair remuneration and stronger regulation of aggregator platforms. Workers are demanding a minimum base fare along with revised per-kilometre and per-minute rates for app-based transport services.
