DOHA: Hundreds of drivers with ride-hailing service Uber in Qatar went on strike on Feb 13 for the second time in a year to protest against fare cuts.

The US-based company, which started operations in Doha in 2014, has in recent months cut fares by 15-20% for passengers amid growing competition from local firms.
