The Delhi government had on Monday seized 18 taxis belonging to Ola and Uber for overcharging commuters, taking advantage of a leap in demand for taxis during the ongoing odd-even traffic scheme.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has threatened "strict action" over "surge pricing", a technique used by the cab aggregators to hike fares in the event of high demand.

After Kejriwal's threat, Uber and Ola suspended surge pricing.

The second phase of the odd-even scheme, which is aimed at battling pollution, began on April 15 and will run till April 30.
