Cabbies call for statewide stir

Agitated with the State government's decision to file a case against office bearers of North Goa Tourist Taxi Owners Association (NGTTOA) for opposing rent-a-car and Ola cab services, the NGTTOA has called for a state-wide bandh on Thursday.

A decision to this effect was taken by NGTTOA members in Calangute on Tuesday, after they expressed anger with the government for filing a case against 15 officer bearers of NGTTOA. The case will come up for hearing before the Judicial Magistrate First Class at Mapusa on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a meeting with the South Goa and North Goa Tourist Taxi Associations will be convened at Benaulim, to chalk out its further course of action.
