Most assault incidents came from Patia, KIIT, Old Town and Kharavela Nagar areas. A group of Ola drivers lodged official complaint at the Kharavela Nagar police station yesterday. They seek police support, citing risk to their life.
DCP Satyabrata Bhoi has taken note of rising incidents of Ola drivers being attacked and assured strong action and full security to them. As Ola Cabs have received huge response from the common people, the auto-rickshaw drivers feel threatened by them.
