Auto drivers were harassed

Auto drivers were harassed by Auto Drivers Joint Action Committee with the new orders of the Transport Department asking auto-drivers to pass the driving licence test for a second time to be able to drive a transport autorickshaw.

Stating that the licence to drive a transport auto is issued only to drivers holding a licence to drive similar category non-transport vehicles or light motor vehicles for at least one year, the committee said that new orders were aimed at harassing them.
