In a relief to app-based cab aggregator Goa Miles, the state's Lokayukta has declined to hear a complaint against it filed by a social activist. The complaint, filed by social activist Sudip Tamankar before the anti-corruption ombudsman, challenged the entire process undertaken to grant licence to Goa Miles to operate as an app-based cab company.

The company, which is facing opposition from the traditional tourist taxis, is affiliated to state-run Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC). Tamankar, in his complaint, has claimed there were "several flaws" in giving licence to the company to run its services in Goa. In an order on Wednesday, the Lokayukta said it has no power to hear the complaint filed by Tamankar and suggested him to move the Goa bench of the Bombay High Court here.
