New Delhi: Delhi auto and taxi unions on Sunday called off their one-day strike after a 'written assurance' by Transport Minister Gopal Rai.
"I want to thank the transport minister for accepting our demands. He has given us in written... the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangha has called off the strike after the written assurance of Transport Minister," Rajendra Soni, general secretary of both 'Delhi Autorickshaw Sangh', 'Delhi Pradesh Taxi Unions,' told ANI.
The transporters had earlier threatened to go on a one-day strike on Monday to protest against app-based cab services.
Earlier this week, a section of auto and taxi unions had taken out a protest march against the app-based taxi services in the national capital.
Rai had earlier accused BJP and RSS of trying to sabotage the second phase of the odd-even scheme 'out of frustration'.
