A section of drivers working with cab aggregators Ola and Uber went on strike on Tuesday, affecting services in some parts of Delhi-NCR as they demanded a fare hike and moratorium on loan repayment.

The striking cab drivers will assemble at Mandi House later in the day to press for their demands, including extension of moratorium on EMI payment till December, an increase in fares and withdrawal of speeding violation penalties, said Kamaljeet Singh Gill, the president of the Sarvodaya Drivers Association of Delhi.
