New Delhi: Following the rape and murder of a Delhi-based woman tourist and killing of her male friend in Dehradun, the Union government is planning to make tourist taxis more secure by installing electronic chips to track their movement.
New culture and tourism minister Mahesh Sharma, who assumed charge on Wednesday, said that such measures would help both domestic and international tourists.
“After tourists disembark at our airports, we will give them the option of travelling by chip enabled taxis, which would be secured. The complete bio-data of the taxi drivers would be available with us,” he said.
