Mangalore, Jun 24: The autorickshaws plying in the city will protest for a day from 12 midnight on June 23 to the midnight of Tuesday, June 24 by staying away from the city roads.
Elaborating on the reasons for the decision, Mangalore City Corporation Autirikshaw Drivers Union president Ivan D'Souza has said, that the auto drivers are irked over the fact that the rickshaw fares have not been revised uptwards even after 15 days since petrol and LPG rates saw a steep hike and that the district administration has failed to positively respond to the demand put forth for raising the autorickshaw fares.
