BRS general secretary RS Praveen Kumar demanded that the State government ban Vietnam-based Green SM cabs, alleging that the entry of the company was threatening the livelihoods of nearly six lakh local cab drivers in the State.
He also sought introduction of a regulated fare structure for cab services in
Telangana.
Addressing a press conference at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday, Praveen Kumar accused the Revanth Reddy government of allowing the company to operate in Hyderabad without considering its impact on local drivers.
Green SM cabs had been operating in the city for about a month and were charging around Rs 8 per km, making them more attractive to customers, he said.
