Commuters Hit As Striking Delhi Transport Workers Stop Cabs | Read

Many cabs and autorickshaws in Delhi are being stopped on the roads by transport workers who are on a one-day strike to protest the steep hike in traffic fines. Several schools in Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida are closed today and office-goers faced difficulties in getting public transport. 41 associations and unions of goods and passenger segments including trucks, buses, autos and taxis in the Delhi-NCR region are on strike under two umbrella bodies. Transport bodies said the "token strike" was against the amended Motor Vehicle (MV) Act. The Delhi Metro and the Delhi Transport Corporation buses are functioning normally.
