Mumbai Taxi Row

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani has said the recent controversy over making knowledge of Marathi mandatory for issuing taxi permits in Mumbai was unfortunate and said the metropolis belongs to all of India.

Lalu Prasad called up the Prime Minister seeking his immediate intervention to get Maharashtra government's decision on giving license to those who are domicile of that state for the last 15 years rescinded.

Less than 24 hours after crash-landing into a controversy over just who can drive a taxi in Mumbai, the Maharashtra Chief Minister has said it's all been a big "misunderstanding."
