Pernem: The Transport Department of Goa has initiated legal action against the management of Uber for allegedly operating in the state without the requisite permit or licence from the authorities.
An FIR was registered today at Mopa Airport Police Station under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, following a complaint lodged by a senior officer of the Department.
According to the complaint, the ride-hailing platform has been facilitating passenger pickups in Goa through its mobile application in violation of state transport laws and regulations. The Department stated that such unauthorised operations not only breach legal provisions but also result in loss of revenue to the state exchequer and raise concerns about passenger safety.
The case has been forwarded for investigation, and further action will follow as per law.
