The Delhi government has asked union Ministry of Communications & Information Technology to block mobile applications providing taxi-service like Uber and Ola in the national capital city, said a state government official on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Delhi transport officials asked US cab company Uber and its Indian rival Ola to cease operations if they want their applications of radio taxi license to operate in the city to be processed.
India had ordered all unregistered web-based taxi companies to halt operations across the country after a female passenger reported she had been raped in New Delhi by a driver contracted to Uber in December.
