Mumbai: Thousands of autorickshaws went off the roads in Mumbai suburbs today to protest the operations of private taxi aggregators and the rise in permit fees.
In order to minimise inconvenience to passengers, State Transport Commissioner Shyam Wardhane has issued directives allowing private cars, buses and other vehicles to operate as "public transport" today.
"This is being done for the convenience of commuters, specially office-goers, in view of the strike," an official said.
He said that nearly 90,000 autos were off the roads today.
The police is on alert to ensure there is no law and order problem.
