NEW DELHI -- A day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal warned of "strict action" against Uber and Ola for hiking prices when there is high demand for cabs in the national capital, Uber announced that it was "suspending surge with immediate effect."







The demand for cabs has escalated since the odd-even rule came into force in Delhi on April 15. This rule, which allows odd and even numbered cars to run on Delhi roads on alternate days, will be in place till April 30.

Over the past few days, people have complained of price surges from Ola and Uber, which are three to four times the regular fare. This surge was particularly worrying because there are still over 10 days to go for the odd-even rule to play out.

On Sunday, Kejriwal said that his government would take "strong action" against Uber and Ola. Today, the Aam Aadmi Party chief leader said that cab which are charging more than government prescribed rates would face "strict action including permit cancellation and impounding."
