Telangana Union Demands Transport Compliance from Ride-Hailing Aggregators
What happened
The Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union asked the state transport department to take action against the illegal commercial use of private white-plate vehicles registered in other states. The union stated that these vehicles are being used through app-based aggregators such as Ola, Uber, and Rapido. The union is demanding that these aggregators ensure vehicles on their platforms meet all state permit, registration, tax, and insurance requirements.

Why it matters
The union argues that local drivers who hold required permits are losing business to these out-of-state vehicles. The demands seek strict inspections and legal action against non-compliant vehicles operating commercially in Telangana.
A union has previously raised demands before the Labour Department in Telangana.
