Taxi drivers are protesting against the government's decision to launch a taxi line.
Drivers are demonstrating in front of the Umar Zahir Office in Hulhumale', where the Transport Ministry is located. The protesters are concerned that the government's involvement in their activities will negatively impact over 3,500 taxi drivers, leading to financial difficulties for many families.
Some protesters are also demanding the resignation of Transport Minister Mohamed Ameen due to the government's current vehicle registration policy. The protesters are urging the government to reconsider its decision to start the taxi service and avoid interfering in the taxi drivers' business.
