This is one rare occasion when public is slogging it out willingly putting up with all the inconvenience of auto-rickshaws that went off the roads, refusing to budge to the State Government’s ultimatum of replacing their tampered mechanical meters with digital ones.
So vexed with the ‘outright loot’ - as some prefer to call it - by the auto-rickshaw drivers through their tampered meters, the public is firmly behind the Government’s hardened stance against the auto-rickshaw drivers’ unions.
However, political parties expressing their solidarity with the agitating auto-rickshaw drivers’ unions did not go down well with the common man.
“Is it wrong on the part of the State Government to ask the auto-rickshaw drivers to mend their ways after repeated warnings? Tampering is an offence and it should be curbed at any cost. This is not the time for any political games,” say many.
