Auto-Rickshaw Strikes Disrupts Commute In Hyderabad City

 A one-day strike by auto-rickshaw drivers in Hyderabad on Thursday, February 12, demanding restrictions on autos entering from outside the city, is causing significant inconvenience, particularly for school students and daily commuters.

The strike, which was called by the Telangana State Auto Union, has disrupted people’s morning routines and is expected to have an impact throughout the day.

The union has



announced the strike to press for two primary demands from the government.

First, they are seeking a ban on auto-rickshaws from other districts operating within Hyderabad city limits. Second, the union is also against bike taxis run by companies like Ola, Uber, and Rapido as they are impacting their income.

Apart from this, they demand a welfare board for auto workers and exemption from e-challans imposed on autos and cabs.
