As CNG prices soar, taxis, autos may go off roads
With CNG prices having risen by Rs 12.5 per kg since March, auto and taxi drivers in the city have threatened to go on an “indefinite strike” from April 18 if the Government doesn’t provide subsidy on the fuel or increase fares.
CNG prices in the national Capital on Thursday were hiked by Rs 2.50 per kilogram – the 10th increase in rates in the last one month, taking the cost to now Rs 69.11 per kg. Associations of auto and taxi drivers will hold protests against the Centre as well as the Delhi Government at Jantar Mantar on Friday and at the Delhi Secretariat on April 11 against the hikes.
