Karnataka has challenged a High Court order on bike taxis in the Supreme Court, citing lack of passenger safety features. The state government has raised concerns over the safety of commuters.
The Karnataka government has approached the Supreme Court to challenge a High Court order that allowed bike taxis to operate in the state. The government's primary concern is the lack of essential passenger safety features in motorcycles, which could put commuters at risk. The state government has argued that allowing bike taxis without proper safety measures could lead to accidents and injuries. The Supreme Court will now hear the case and decide on the matter. The Karnataka government's move is seen as an effort to prioritize passenger safety and regulate the bike taxi industry.
