The app-based cabs will be on strike again on Monday, thanks to the Maharashtra Rajya Rashtriya Kamgar Sangh, a trade union led by the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), which has allegedly forced cabbies to strike.

Several cab drivers expressed that they did not want to go on strike, but are being forced to do so purely due to the fear of their vehicle being vandalised. Several cab drivers had suffered during the first round of the nearly fortnight-long strike before Diwali.
