Cab drivers threaten road blockade if govt fails to act on demands
Nagpur: Drivers operating app-based cab services in the city sought govt intervention to resolve their issues and warned of staging blockade by parking their cabs on roads in front of govt offices if their demands for fare revision, company benefits and better working conditions are not met. The drivers staged a protest at Samvidhan Chowk to raise their demands and stayed off roads on Thursday. "Our only demand is fare increase, dignified working environment and secure livelihoods," a driver said. App-based cab drivers have alleged prolonged neglect by authorities despite repeatedly raising grievances with app-based aggregator companies, the RTO, and even the collector's office. Deepak Sane, one of the protesting drivers, alleged that during the pandemic, companies initially promised benefits like Covid insurance but later denied claims. "One of the drivers died in an accident during Covid, but the company rejected the claim, citing the cause as infection, not accident," he said. The drivers also complained about the lack of physical infrastructure and support. "Local offices have been shut, and there's no designated pickup point at the Nagpur railway station. We requested RTO for a taxi booth but got no response," said Sane. Vinod Vivahare, Mahamantri of the Rashtriya Chalak Malak Sangathan, raised the safety issue. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "Passengers have panic buttons, but drivers don't. If a passenger turns violent or abusive, there's no way for us to seek help," he said. Driver Bhushan Jachak said, "We follow all rules and regulations laid down by the companies and govt, yet we are not being paid fairly. All we want is that govt's approved fare rates be applied to app-based cab services." Rajat Chaudhary, another driver, highlighted the economic pressure. "We bought cars on loans. Even after working 14-15 hours a day, we earn only Rs2,000-Rs3,000. That's not enough to cover fuel, EMIs, and household expenses. How is this sustainable?" he said.

Germany need Musiala to recover and deliver ‘brilliant moments': Sane
dpa Munich Leroy Sane hailed Germany team-mate Jamal Musiala as a difference maker as he wished his former Bayern Munich colleague a speedy recovery. The 22-year-old broke his fibula and dislocated his ankle in Bayern's 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup quarter-finals. The playmaker will now be out for several months. Sane will be one of the candidates to fill in for him for Germany in upcoming World Cup qualifiers, but he can no longer replace Musiala for Bayern after recently leaving for Galatasaray. 'I really hope he recovers soon. Bayern and the national team need him and his brilliant moments,' the 29-year-old told Sky. 'He was just on his way to becoming 100% fit again, and then this... I feel so incredibly sorry for him. It's so frustrating.' Musiala underwent successful surgery on Monday. 'I watched the game live on TV,' Sane said. 'The scene didn't look good at all after the first replay. Unfortunately, you could already sense that it would mean a longer recovery period. It's unbelievably bitter. I was stunned at first.'

WWE commentator Corey Graves made the announcement while discussing Morgan's injury on Raw Monday. Morgan is currently one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions alongside her partner Raquel Rodriguez. WWE has not announced what will happen to the titles. Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder June 16 during her match against Kairi Sane on Raw. The incident happened shortly after the match started when Morgan received a single-leg takedown from Sane. The move was performed properly, however, Morgan yelled in pain and the match was immediately paused. WWE medical personnel came ringside to check on Morgan, who was escorted to the back. The match was canceled, with Sane winning by forfeit. Morgan had recently attacked Hall of Famer Nikki Bella with the segment appearing to set up a match between the two; however, the bout will now most likely not take place.
