Eight people were injured in a clash between drivers of cab aggregators and those belonging to the airport taxi union near the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) here Wednesday, police said. The clash was over Ola and Uber taxi drivers picking up passengers from the airport which was not allowed so far.

However, the airport authority had recently initiated a move to allow cab drivers inside the airport. The clash occurred when a driver of a cab aggregator tried to pick up a passenger from the airport. Airport taxi drivers objected to it and assaulted him.
