Ola and Uber drivers continued their strike for the second consecutive day on Wednesday, vowing to further intensify their protest until the state government gives them a concrete assurance.

“We have been protesting for our rights and will continue to do so. Today, we are not sitting at Azad Maidan but are spread out across Pune, Mumbai, Nagpur, and other cities, enforcing the strike by stopping cabs and autos. About 90 per cent of cabs were off the roads today,” said Maharashtra Kamgar Sabha president Keshav Nana Kshirsagar, who is spearheading the agitation.

Drivers and workers of Ola, Uber, Zomato, Swiggy, and other aggregator companies have been protesting for the past few days against the ‘injustice’ meted out to them by these platforms. Many protesters took to the streets, forcing passengers to get down from cabs and autos at several locations across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, Nagpur, and other cities.
