PANAJI: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Friday urged the taxi operators to withdraw their strike and come for talks.
The taxi operators have been protesting at Azad Maidan at Panaji for the past few days over the GoaMiles app-based service and installation of digital taxi meters.
Science and technology minister and Calangute MLA Michael Lobo also met the chief minister over the taxi operators’ issues.
“The chief minister told me that the taxi operators should end the strike. My request to the taxi operators is to withdraw their strike. They should sit across the table with the government to resolve their issues,” he said.
Lobo said that they should talk to the government to find a solution.
“There will be a solution,” he added.
Blaming the taxi operators, tourism minister Manohar Ajgaonkar said that, “It is because of their (taxi operators) actions that GoaMiles was introduced and the company came to Goa.”
