NEW DELHI: The Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry has asked Uber India to take action against erring drivers after a disability rights activist alleged he was "treated horribly" by two drivers of the app-based cab aggregator in Chennai. In a letter to the Uber India CEO, Executive Director of National Centre for Promotion of Employment of Disabled People, said that Assam-based wheelchair-bound man "faced discrimination" by Uber Cab drivers while going to take a flight on June 20. "You are requested to look into the matter and arrange to take appropriate action against the erring drivers. In his post, which he had tagged to the Prime Minister's Office and Narendra Modi, Ali said Uber India apologised to him and offered to refund the cancellation fee of ₹45 only. I had booked the 1st Uber for the airport at 3 pm which I verbally confirmed with the driver.
