Ola, Uber drivers call off protest

BENGALURU: A section of Ola and Uber drivers, who were on strike for the last two days, called off their protest on Friday.

President of the Ola, TaxiForSure, Uber (OTU) Drivers and Owners Association Tanveer Pasha said the protest was withdrawn as cab aggregators promised to look into their grievances on Tuesday or Wednesday next.

“We will decide our next course of action after the meeting,“ he said.


Of the two drivers who consumed poison during Thursday's protest before the Ola office in Murugeshpalya, one of them, Mohan Babu, continues to be in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the KIMS Hospital.

The other, Srinivas, was discharged on Thursday after being treated in the outpatient department.
