New Delhi- Delhi has decided to ban all Internet-based taxi firms after a Delhi woman was raped by a driver working for Uber, a government official said on Tuesday.
The Delhi Transport Department issued a public notice in a national daily stating that only six registered radio taxi companies are allowed to operate in New Delhi.
“We have banned Uber. Another public notice will be issued tomorrow for banning all non-registered cab service providers.
It’s almost done,” said Kuldeep Singh Gangar, spokesman of the Delhi’s transport department.
Uber was blacklisted in New Delhi on Monday after police said it had failed to run background checks on the driver, who was arrested three years ago in a similar case but later acquitted.
A representative for Uber said the company had not been officially notified of any ban in New Delhi and would issue a statement later on Tuesday.
