After banning Uber in Delhi, Centre plans to do the same across India
NEW DELHI: The Centre is contemplating to ban the cab services of Uber across India after a driver engaged by the company allegedly raped a girl in Delhi.
The home ministry is planning to ask all state governments and administration of nine Union territories, where Uber runs its cab services, to put a ban on it, official sources said on Monday.
Uber cab services are available in Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Kolkata and Pune.

The central government is also likely to ask all state governments and UT administrations to find out whether similar app-based taxi service is running in their jurisdiction contrary to the existing rules and regulations, the sources said.
