Maharashtra extends Marathi deadline for taxi and tuk-tuk drivers by a year
India's Maharashtra state has extended the deadline for taxi and tuk-tuk drivers to learn Marathi, the official local language. Transport officials began testing drivers on 20 August, with those failing given a month to learn or risk licence suspension. The government says the rule improves communication, but many migrant drivers worried about losing their jobs.
