Over the past few weeks, certain unions have begun a campaign of intimidation and violence against Uber in Kochi. Several of their driver partners have been threatened and subjected to physical assaults, apart from damage to their own vehicle and company owned property. Out of fear, a majority of uber driver partners are contemplating staying off roads, which is depriving them of their rightful earnings. The group’s campaign is aimed at forcibly ceasing uber service, causing the loss of thousands of jobs and earnings for drivers and reliable, safe and affordable transportation choices for the city.

We request the government to look into this matter urgently so that as a customer we have the freedom to choose which cab service to be used.
