The Delhi government last month had requested the Center to block
web based apps of taxi operators Uber, Ola Cabs and TaxiForSure alleging
that these companies were not complying with a ban order imposed by it.
The government is mulling blocking mobile taxi hailing apps of Uber,
Ola and TaxiForSure all over the country, with the Department of
Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY) seeking views from the
Transport Ministry for the same.The Delhi government had requested DEITY to block such apps, but the
Department found it technically impossible to do so for one particular
state, and therefore, it sought “concurrence” of the transport ministry
for all-India execution, a senior IT ministry official told PTI.
The official added that it is technically not possible to block an application only in Delhi and the execution can only happen at the national level.“Therefore, we have sought views of the Transport Ministry and are waiting for their reply,” the official said.When contacted, a senior official in the Road Ministry said: “We are looking into it on our own. More details will be worked out next week.”
The Delhi government last month had requested the Centre to block web-based apps of taxi operators Uber, Ola Cabs and TaxiForSure alleging that these companies were not complying with a ban order imposed by it.
All app-based cab services were banned in the National Capital after a driver of Uber, the US-based online taxi- hailing company, was accused of raping a female passenger.
The Delhi transport commissioner had also said that a number of complaints were being received by the transport department saying operations of such taxi services in an unauthorised manner were putting the safety and security of commuters at risk.

देशभर में बैन होंगे Uber, OLA के टैक्सी App!
सरकार देशभर में उबर
, ओला और टैक्सी फॉर श्योर के टैक्सी App को ब्लॉक करने पर विचार कर रही
है. इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स और सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी विभाग (डीईआईटीवाई) ने इस संबंध
में परिवहन मंत्रालय की राय मांगी है.
आईटी मंत्रालय के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने बताया कि दिल्ली
सरकार ने विभाग से इस तरह के एप्प बंद करने का अनुरोध किया है, लेकिन
विभाग ने किसी राज्य विशेष में इसे बंद करना तकनीकी रूप से असंभव लगा और
उसने अखिल भारतीय स्तर पर पर कार्यान्वयन के लिए परिवहन मंत्रालय से
‘सहमति’ मांगी है.
अधिकारी ने कहा कि केवल दिल्ली में एक एप्लीकेशन को ब्लॉक करना तकनीकी रूप से संभव नहीं है और इसका क्रियान्वयन राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर ही हो सकता है. उन्होंने कहा, 'हमने परिवहन मंत्रालय की राय मांगी है और उनसे जवाब मिलने का इंतजार कर रहे हैं.’ संपर्क किए जाने पर सड़क मंत्रालय के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने कहा, 'हम खुद से इस मामले को देख रहे हैं. अगले सप्ताह और विवरण पर काम किया जाएगा.'
