A video floating around on social media showing how a few auto drivers in Ernakulam aren't allowing Uber and Ola cabs to ply has gone viral.

The video on Facebook has got 88,000 views in 8 hours.

The video uploaded on YouTube on November 29 is by a person named Vidya Gopalakrishnan who booked the cab from Ernakulam south railway station the other day.

The auto drivers are seen threatening her that she will be on the road with her bag if she does not listen to them. They are also seen telling the driver not to provide services in that area.

The auto drivers in different parts of the state have earlier attacked online cabs for picking up passengers in "their area". Preference for online cabs over autos have led to frequent clashes between the two.
