DoT asks ISPs to block Uber, TaxiForSure and Ola Cabs websites in Delhi

Well every country has transport and passenger laws.

Uber has issues in lots of countries.

Just because it is NICE service does not mean that regulations can be bypassed.

Pune City I am talking about.
Auto Unions claim that Cabs have tourist license (or long distance travel like inter-city license), so cabs cannot do public transport within city. But since cabs are already operational on roads, somebody should clarify whose claim is wrong, Autos or Cabs.
Besides these cabs collect tax from us and give proper receipt, so they might be paying some tax to govt, so how can govt be taking tax from some illegal service.
And cab service is indeed NICE. Just today I had Ola cab ride for 6 KM which costed around Rs 130. Auto wala used to ask Rs 150~200 for same distance of travelling, and as usual Auto will not provide any receipt for it :)

Well here we are talking about ban under pressure from few entities.In India radio cabs in India work fine and Uber has already purchased a radio cab license or is in process of doing so.So of Ola Meru etc can function why not Uber?
 
You are missing the point (and old news).

Delhi authorities give Uber deadline for license application| Reuters
Delhi government gives Uber deadline for license application - India Gazette

Delhi Government asked Uber repeatedly to show proof that they have documents supporting application to operate.

But they did not. Government kept waiting but Uber did nothing.

Then Government also gave them a deadline (notice).

Which again Uber did not bother to reply. Statements given were more or less - "we are looking into issue."

It is after that - that Delhi government asked DoT to block the site.
 
This is great. Same ISPs were able to block other HTTPS sites by DNS hijack. (when reliance asked for torrent sites etc ban)

Now they are finding excuses.
