flag Tamil Nadu bans app-based delivery using two-wheelers and auto rickshaws, citing permit violations, with fines and seizures enforced starting Feb 18.

flag Tamil Nadu has banned app-based platforms like Uber, Rapido, and Porter from using two-wheelers and autorickshaws for goods delivery, citing violations of passenger-only permits. flag The transport commissioner issued the directive on Feb 16, warning fines up to ₹10,000 and vehicle seizure for violations. flag Surprise inspections began Feb 18, targeting non-compliant vehicles and apps. flag The move follows protests by auto driver unions over lost livelihoods, though the federation paused demonstrations after government assurances. flag While some support the crackdown for safety reasons, others fear disruption to affordable, quick delivery services for small items. flag No new permit system for freight has been introduced.
