Delhi-NCR mein commuters ko mushkil waqt ka samna karna pada jab taxi aur autorickshaw drivers ne Thursday se apni 2-day strike shuru ki, demanding better compensation cab aggregator services se. Taxi aur auto unions ka kehna hai ki inadequate compensation aur bike taxi services ke launch hone se unki livelihood pe asar pada hai.
kyu karahe hai Auto, Taxi Drivers Strike?
Delhi Auto Taxi Transport Congress Union (DATTCU) ke president, Kishan Verma ne claim kiya ki 80% autorickshaws aur taxis national capital mein off-road hain. Unhone ye bhi announce kiya ki Jantar Mantar pe protest hold kiya jayega.
Ek cab driver, Anil Pradhan ne bike taxis pe ban ki demand ki jo non-commercial numberplates use karti hain. Unhone kaha, “Sarkar ko step lena chahiye aur in vehicles ke commercial plying pe ban lagana chahiye. Humein apni zaruraton ko pura karna mushkil ho raha hai.”
Adarsh Tiwari, ek aur cab driver, ne kaha, “Companies humein services ke liye bahut kam rate deti hain. Iss wajah se hum apni vehicle ke installments aur doosre expenses manage nahi kar pa rahe. Apne bachon ko acchi education dena aur families ke liye sufficient food ensure karna mushkil ho gaya hai.”
Log social media par apni complaints share kar rahe hain about cabs ke delay aur cancellations ke baare mein. Ek X user, Prashhush ne post kiya, “Spent the last 35 mins trying to get a cab in Noida for Delhi. What’s wrong with @Olacabs @Uber_India @rapidobikeapp?”
Dusre X user, Kshitiz Agarwal ne likha, “Is it only me or uber doesn’t work anymore now? Couldn’t find a uber cab for 30 mins nowadays even at posh localities like south extension, new delhi #uber #ola.”
DATTCU president Verma ne kaha, “Hum Jantar Mantar pe bhi protest hold karenge, private vehicles ko cab aggregator companies ke through ply karne par ban ki demand ke liye. Jab humein permits aur taxes dene padte hain, toh private vehicles ko allow kyun kiya ja raha hai? Hum sarkar se in par ban impose karne ki demand karte hain.”
