Ride-hailing company Uber

Ride-hailing company Uber Technologies has asked its drivers in India to ensure backseat seatbelts in their vehicles are accessible to passengers and they work, days after a local business tycoon died in a crash involving his private car.
The move comes amid a growing road-safety push in India, the world’s fourth-largest car market. Earlier in September, Cyrus Mistry, the former chairman of India’s Tata Sons, died in a crash involving his Mercedes, and local media reported he was not wearing a seatbelt while seated at the back.
“To avoid any fines or complaints by riders, please ensure the seatbelts on the back seats are accessible and functional,” Uber said in an advisory to its drivers on Tuesday which was seen by Reuters.
A source with direct knowledge also said Uber was conducting checks at airports to ensure its drivers were complying with seatbelt norms.
