The services of taxi aggregators have come under severe censure following mid-day's report on July 12 about 35-year-old Tanzila Shaikh who lost her life on June 14 after the Uber cab she was in crashed into a stationary garbage truck at Bhandup. Amitesh Kumar, joint CP (traffic), has taken cognizance of mid-day's exclusive report on the incident and said he would be meeting representatives of all such aggregators soon.

"From the safety aspect of passengers, and in light of the recent incident reported and other cases that have come to our notice, we will be calling in Uber and other application based cab service representatives for a meeting soon." He added, "We are in the process of coming up with a QR code and Infrared Code for regular black and yellow taxis from the commuter safety point of view. Ola and Uber are given permits by the State Transport Commissioner offices and have to follow their permit norms."
