Karnataka govt suspends Ola’s permit for 6 months

The Karnataka government has suspended the licence of Ola Cabs (ANI Technologies Pvt. Ltd) for six months with immediate effect, alleging that the ride-hailing company had been running two- wheeler taxis in violation of the law.
“There is a violation of rules as bike taxis are not part of the licence issued to them (Ola)," said an official at the state transport department, requesting not to be named.
The notice to cease operations comes against the backdrop of new-age technology companies in Bengaluru, home to one of the biggest start-up ecosystems in the world, protesting against what they say are archaic government rules.
