"Strict action, including permit cancellation and impounding of vehicles, will be taken against app-based taxis which charge fares more than government-prescribed rates (sic)," Kejriwal said in a tweet yesterday. The move comes after the government received some complaints against the app-based taxi service providers Ola and Uber of hiking the fares exorbitantly during rush hours.

The rates were allegedly also hiked yesterday, the first full working day of the fortnight-long odd-even scheme.
Transport Minister Gopal Rai asked commuters to register their complaints at 011-42400400 against exorbitant fares charged by the app-based taxi service providers. "If we receive complaints against arbitrariness of any app-based taxi service, we will impound their vehicles," Rai said.
