No Ola, Uber service in Mangaluru, Udupi: Minister DC Thammanna
Belagavi, Dec 18: Transport Minister DC Thammanna said that the court has given stay order for the Ola and Uber companies to start taxi service in Mangaluru and Udupi.
Raising the issue during the Zero Hour in the Assembly, BJP member Raghupathi Bhat said that Ola and Uber companies have got permission by depositing Rs 50,000 on June 20, 2016 to start their services in Bengaluru. They have to get permission from local authorities to start their services in any cities. But in Mangaluru and Udupi cities, the companies have decided to begin their services without getting permission, he said.
Responding to it, the Minister said that the permission taken for Bengaluru was being extended to other cities. But in Mangaluru and Udupi, local taxi drivers have been protesting against Ola and Uber service. Even the court has also given stay order to start the service. Till the dispute is solved in the court, the government would not allow the companies to start their services in Mangaluru and Udupi, the Minister promised.

Tehran/Doha: Iran’s President Massoud Pezeshkian has warned that attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure could lead to “uncontrollable consequences” affecting the entire world.
In a post on X, Pezeshkian said he “strongly condemns” the strikes that targeted the South Pars gasfield earlier in the day.
“Such aggressive actions will not achieve anything for the American Zionist enemy and their supporters. Rather, they will complicate the situation and could lead to uncontrollable consequences that will affect the entire world,” he said.
Meanwhile, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has urged residents to remain indoors due to what it described as an elevated security threat.
Authorities have not provided further details, but the advisory comes amid growing concerns over the safety of energy infrastructure and civilian areas in the region.
